A Little Pink Pony

I used some Christmas money to get myself this adorable crochet book by Ana Paula Rimoli. It has some seriously cute patterns. I've made 5 of them so far and each one has turned out beautifully.

I wanted to make a friend's daughter the little unicorn on the front for her first birthday. However, I didn't like the horn or the nostrils, so I just sewed across the nose to make two indentations. I also wanted the legs to move, like Aaron's horse, so I sewed them together through the body so they could move. I ended up making up the leg pattern, and made up a neck to make it so the pony could stand and sit without looking too weird.

Here are the results!

Sitting down

Standing!

It turned out so well! I gave her some blue eyes to match the cute little girl's baby blues, and I didn't do rainbow hair like the pattern called for. I just alternated between dark pink and light pink.

It was a fun project and made me want a little girl of my own someday!
