Pony Pattern

One of the most popular patterns circulating Pinterest is for this horse, developed by the blog All About Ami:

I have been a little intimidated by this pattern since I first saw it, especially because it involves many asymmetrical increases and decreases, as well as a five-part mane. However, I finally decided to give it a try and documented the process as I went.

At first, I was a little worried because the head seemed much larger than the body. Looking back over the pattern, I couldn't figure out what I might have done wrong, so I just left it and hoped that, when put together, it would look right.

The next part I crocheted was the mane, which consisted of five pieces sewn together: 

Then I sewed these pieces, along with the ears, together to create the body-portion of the horse: 

Lastly, all I need are the limbs and tail of the pony, and will upload the finished result onto my Etsy when completed.
