Pegasus & Unicorn Foals

TAIL (MAKE 1 IN G FOR PEGASUS OR 1 IN F FOR UNICORN) (FIG 10 )

Cut 20 pieces of F or G in 12in/ 31cm lengths. Divide yarn into 2 bundles of 10 pieces each. Secure middle of 1 bundle to upper back of body and rem bundle directly above it with fringe knots. Separate yarn strands of tail with tapestry needle, then brush out and trim as desired.

Fur and Finishing

With H, I, or J and size H (5mm) hook, sl st fur yarn onto surface of work and cover crochet surfaces worked in A with sl sts (using exposed surface lps wherever possible). Leave bottom 4 rnds of legs and the area between the eyes unworked to add blaze, fringe and/ or sock details.

Work following details in J:

• Blaze: Apply a strip from front of mane to top edge of nose bet eyes, if desired. Work stripe wider near mane and narrower bet eyes to make a long diamond-like shape.

• Hoof Fringe: Working into surface FLs of sts directly above hoof, (sl st 1, ch 4, sl st 1) into each surface FL around top edge of hoof to create 10–12 hoof fringes.

• Socks: Once hoof fringe is done, cover bottom 4 rnds of each leg in J.

Optional: Add Eyelashes

Stick adhesive band of fake lashes to back edge of eyes. ■
