Knit in Public Week

I am knitting in the air,
I am knitting in a chair,
I am knitting everywhere, knitting, knitting  without a care.

Custom Hand knit Ponies~ to look just like Yours!!!


 Meet Cannon, a custom order.


 ~Uniquely Yours~

Custom hand knit horses from your photos. 

Who doesn't want or hasn't wanted a horse of their very own?
 Here is your chance.

One of a kind, hand knit.
 You supply the specific details and each horse is created just for you. 
Or order from the many in my herd..


Custom orders will be knit within 7-10 days

Each horse is hand knit  by me from 100% wool. They are stuffed with  polyester so they are super soft and squishy. Each has a wonderful long mane and tail, which is securely attached. They are approximately 7" long, from nose to tail, and stand about 5 1/2" tall.
 

Collect them in lots of colors!

Guage not important


  • Cast on 27 divide stitches as evenly as possible- doesn't really matter- Purl first two rows
  • Knit the next 14 rows
  • Purl two rows
  • Cast off knitwise.

Sew in loose ends
Add any type of decoration- this is where you can make it your own creation- have fun, go wild, be crazy.

These make great gifts, give the cozie with the cup and inside the cup put your favorite coffee/tea gift card. 
Enjoy!!
