TIP Your piece might start curling - that’s

totally normal. For a neater final look, push
the middle of your piece until it curves the
other way. This makes the “right side” face
out. Then keep crocheting to the left. If
you’re a lefty, keep crocheting to the right.

Fasten off leaving a tail at least twice as long as
the mane. Hold the two ends of the mane together
to form a circle. Sew the mane to the body using
the remaining front loops of the foundation chain.
The mane should start at the very top of the head
(in the center of the magic loop), go behind each
ear, and directly under the mouth.
TIP When sewing the mane to the body, the side
with the vertical V’s should be facing the
