Tail

Cut 20 strands of 40cm long, fold them in half and tie tightly in the middle
with a long yarn, then sew them to rows 12-13 of the back body.

HORSE MANE
Cut 20cm long strands of yarn. How many depends on your personal
preference, but I ended up using well 40. Fold a strand of yarn in half,
insert your hook under a stitch in the head or body. Use your hook to
catch your yarn strand and pull through a loop, then pull your tail ends of
the strand through the loop.

DONE
Your horse is done now. I am looking forward to seeing your finished
creation and would be happy if you credit me as designer. Thank you so
much and happy crocheting!
