Thanks so much for all of the kind words about the sneak preview of my latest pattern, it’s so lovely to think that these patterns are going to be enjoyed, I truly hope they are anyway 🙂
They are now ready and I’ve uploaded the files to Ravelry and Etsy and hopefully in the next few days I’ll also have them on Lovecrafts.
There are lots of options in the patterns. Firstly there are 2 main versions:
the first comes with knitted on tights/pantyhose and shoes and has two removable dresses included, one which is worked in two colours with a stranded loops and flowers design, and the other which is worked in a single colour and has a traditional Shetland lace pattern called Horseshoe lace (well, it did seem apt).
and the other comes with a bare body and legs and has removable shorts and a choice of two removable sweaters, one worked in a two-colour geometric design of triangles and the other is a single coloured sweater using a textured ‘cob nut’ design.
Both of these versions have the same multiple options to make a horse, a donkey and a unicorn
The horse also has multiple options with a design for a plain face with a different coloured nose, a blaze on the face and a forehead star.
You can really go to town with choosing the yarns for the manes (especially the unicorns) and there are lots of yarn suggestions within the pattern.
I’ll be trying my best to give each of these heads a body, though it may take me a while! So many of them remind me of horses I have loved during my life, long gone now but hopefully galloping happily across meadows somewhere in horsey heaven, miss you Amazon, Trigger, Caspian, Danny, William, Katie, Rusty and Sweep xxx

These are incredible. I hope you know – even if just a little – of the joy these lovelies bring to all of us. I’ve made practically all of your wee creatures and they are in a basket, played with gently by my grands over the years. Hopefully that goodie basket will be treasured and my “greats” will play with them for years to come. You’ve helped us leave a little heritage for our loved ones, Julie. Thank you so very much.

Thank you so much for this new wonderful pattern. It is very successful and it will be fun to make horses as well as a donkey or a unicorn. And it’s always a joy to come here and admire the magnificent photos because you have the art of showing the beauty of life, and the magic of life. You are a fairy.

Oh my goodness, we just have to have a little grey donkey! There have always been donkeys on our land or in the barn and, much as we love the currently only one and want a new companion for him, an indoor one, house trained and cuddly, would be perfect for we house dwellers!

I hope my two year old granddaughter loves more animals so I can knit these fabulous horses, donkeys and unicorns. She is currently obsessed with ducks 🙂 I have made her a duck using the mole pattern and she loves it.

Julie, these are amazing and I can’t wait to purchase the patterns. I have so many of yours! I am a newborn photographer and I LOVE the mini patterns that I have bought from you. They are the perfect size for a newborn “lovie,” Any suggestions on how I could convert this pattern into a mini?
