Switch Things Up

I love how versatile this Neon pattern can be with just a few simple modifications! You can easily transform her into a unicorn by adding a twisted horn in white or sparkly yarn right between her ears. For a more traditional look, try using brown and tan colors instead of the pastels - she becomes a classic pony instantly.

Consider making her mane and tail in multiple colors for a rainbow effect, or use metallic yarn to give her that magical sparkle. You could even add small flowers or ribbons to her mane for extra charm. If you want to make her larger, simply use a thicker yarn with an appropriately sized hook - she'll maintain her proportions perfectly.

For a winter version, add a tiny crocheted scarf around her neck or make her in white and pale blue for a snow pony effect. The possibilities are truly endless with this sweet pattern!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff the head gradually while crocheting can make final stuffing difficult and create an uneven shape ✗ Not placing safety eyes at the correct position between rounds 15-16 with proper spacing can affect facial symmetry ✗ Skipping the back loops only instruction in round 10 of the head will prevent proper color transition ✗ Not securing the mane and tail properly can cause them to become loose or fall off with handling

Assembly Instructions

  • Using APRICOT yarn, sew over a stitch on the inner part of each safety eye and pull slightly to create an indent, then tie off and hide yarn tails inside the head
  • Sew the beige patch to the centre of the head covering rounds 12-19
  • Attach the head to the body by going around twice to make it secure
  • Sew ears to either side of the head over rounds 18-22, approximately 3 stitches from the patch
  • Attach legs to rounds 5-7 of the body pointing outwards, 3 stitches apart
  • Sew arms to the body over rounds 17-22 on a diagonal so they point slightly forward and rest on the legs
  • Attach the mane approximately 1 round after the patch, sewing down the back of the head
  • Sew the tail to the back of the body over rounds 6-11
  • Using APRICOT yarn, create nostrils by making 2 vertical lines over rounds 3-5, approximately 5 stitches apart

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a yarn with no stretch for best results - cotton or cotton blend works perfectly for amigurumi
  • 💡Keep stitches tight by using a smaller hook than usual for the yarn weight
  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds, especially during color changes
  • 💡Stuff firmly but not too tightly for the best shape and structure
  • 💡Insert safety eyes between rounds 15 and 16 with proper spacing before closing the head
  • 💡Pin all parts in place before sewing to ensure correct positioning
