What you need to know

Learn single stitch chain with Sachiyo Ishii’s fun jockey pattern.

Giddy up! Our adorable duo has been in training for weeks and is ready to gallop its way to victory. This cute pair is a great challenge for knitters who want to practise creating unusual shapes, since the horse is created in one piece. The added details in the mane and blanket fringes are great little embellishments that will really bring your make to life. These touches can be a little tricky, but will feel ‘a-neigh-zing’ once you see your horse coming together!
