How to Crochet a Horse or Pony
by Jane Lake
There is a lot of interest in crochet patterns for horses and ponies, so I gathered the best that I could find for this collection. A crocheted pony was one of the first toys that I ever made from yarn for my daughter. She now has five horses of her own, but she still treasures her herd of crocheted ponies. Smile.
Update: So my grown-up daughter now has another crocheted horse in her herd, from an old pattern that I only discovered by accident after buying a vintage toy pattern book. Here’s what it turned out like in modern worsted weight yarn:

I want to crochet a baby blanket with a horse in the center of it. Do you have one or do you know where I can get one? This is important to my daughter as she is 35 and a first time momma. Her and her husband are both avid horse lovers. Thank you in advance
Mary Maxin has a filet crochet horse head pattern. Unfortunately, it is only sold in the kit to make it. Wish there was a way to talk to ya, even though its so many years later LOL
Thank you so much, Kristina. Your interest piqued mine and I went searching! I did find an image on Pinterest of a crocheted corner-to-corner blanket with a horse head in the middle. You can see it here: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/338684834471490305/
Although there isn’t a pattern, the author explains how she made it in the comments, essentially following a standard corner to corner pattern, but following a graph of her own to create the horse head,
