As with the Crochet Donkey Lovey and Crochet Zebra Lovey, this Crochet Horse Lovey is an easy make using fingering weight yarn. This makes for a light, airy and detailed crochet piece suitable for babies of all ages.

1. Head
Use this pattern and a 2.5mm crochet hook for the head.
Rnd 1- 11: Use dark brown yarn
Rnd 12-33: Use brown yarn
2. Ears (make 2)
Use this pattern and a 2.5 mm crochet hook for the ears.
Rnd 1-4: Use dark brown yarn
Rnd 5-9: Use brown yarn
3. Mane
Use this pattern, black yarn and 2.5 mm crochet hook for the mane. Once complete, attach all the pieces as shown in the same pattern.
4. Forelegs
Use this pattern, dark brown and brown yarn and 2.5 mm crochet hook for the forelegs.
Rnd 1-5: Use dark brown yarn
Rnd 6-25: Use brown yarn
5. Body
The body is made using the classic granny square pattern and a 3mm crochet hook
Rnd 1-12: Use dark grey yarn
Rnd 13-16: Use light grey yarn
Rnd 17: In light grey yarn, sc in each st across working (sc, ch 2, sc) in each of the 4 corner spaces. Fasten off yarn.
Rnd 18: In dark grey yarn, rpt Row 17
Rnd 19: In black yarn, rpt Row 17
At this point, your granny square should measure around 11.5 inches. Attach the head to the body. You will do this by sewing the bottom section of the head around the first row of your granny square and the forelegs to the sides.
Once that is done, embroider the eyes and nose on the head. Now you have a lovely Crochet Zebra Lovey.
