Crochet Mini Horse Amigurumi Pattern

This little horse will fit in the palm of your hand! Sitting at about 5.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide, this mini crochet amigurumi will be a hit with any horse lover!

The mascot at my kids school is a Trailblazer so I made a few of these to give to the teachers on the first day. Their school colors are gray and teal so that is why you are seeing those colors on the horse in some of the pictures. Lots of color combos you could chose from! You could even make this into a unicorn!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in colors Cafe Latte and Buff Beige. A bit of coffee for the bridle.
