This free crochet horse pattern makes a chibi spotted pony that sits on short legs with a big round head and dark little hooves. The amigurumi pony is white with chestnut patches, one of them around an eye, and has a soft peachy muzzle with a smile, pink-lined ears and a long brown yarn mane, forelock and tail. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and sits about 14 cm (5.5 in) tall; the spots are color changes, the hair is knotted yarn strands, and the eyes are 12 mm safety eyes. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes.

- Size before assembly: about 8 cm at the widest, 4.5 cm long; 17 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
- Size before assembly: about 8.8 cm at the widest, 7.8 cm long; 30 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Press the piece flat to about 7.9 cm thick (oval cross-section).<!-- press the piece flat by 10 % --> Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- Size before assembly: an oval about 4.7 × 3.1 cm at the widest, 3.2 cm long; 10 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
- With muzzle: ch 6.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 3.7 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 32 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->

Bend ≈ 35° around round 5<!-- the bend spreads over 2 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces forward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 5, on the centre front line). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 6 together (2 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 4 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.
- A flat circle about 3.8 cm across; 5 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre top line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
