Petite Pegasus Pony

This pattern was inspired by the first amigurumi I ever saw. It was at a small craft fair and was a little white pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail. I was in love. I have always kept the tiny pony since it brightens my day to look at it.

ch 8, *sc1, ch 6, sc 1 (back to first chain)
repeat from * till you have 3 bumps

Assembly:

Sew nose to face, it is optional to stuff it. Next add on the ears. Using the sewing thread and needle sew on the little beads (eyes) and stitch a couple of eyelashes. Position and sew on the legs. The wings can be sewn to sides as is or you could gather them (This would leave more room on the hind end if you want to embroider a cutie mark)  before sewing.

Mane and tail:

Wrap the color yarn you want for your hair around your palm. When it looks like you have enough cut one edge, you will be left with many stands of even length yarn ready to use for your mane and tail, if you run you can always cut more.

 For the tail I used about 12 pieces of yarn, I tied them in the middle
then sewed it to the bottom of my pony.

For the mane I chained 12 sts from the pony's body color leaving a tail on each end for sewing. Then using the mane yarn I latch hooked  the pieces through each loop on the chain, 2 pieces of yarn per chain. Using the tail ends of the chain I sew the mane to the neck.

Now you have a pony that is 20% cooler than the other ponies.
