dusty & satchel knitting pattern
$6.95
I created this pattern when my sons and I wanted a horse for our seasonal table, a place where we display seasonal bits of nature.
The horse is knit in three main pieces plus two ears. Two mirror-image sides are joined and a gusset adds width. Felt the horse until no visible stitches remain. To be sure your yarn will work, make a test swatch and felt it thoroughly.
