Abbreviations
SC- single crochet
SC INC- single crochet increase (2 SC in each stitch)
INV DEC- Invisible decrease (put hook through the FRONT LOOP ONLY of two consecutive stitches [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through both loops. [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through two loops)
Magic Circle- Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch!). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. (If you need 6 SC, then crochet 6 SC inside the ring.) Pull the tail to close the circle.

Always move your stitch marker to the last stitch in the round. This pattern is worked in continuous rounds.

Fasten off, leaving a tail to sew on the head. Pinch the bottom of the ear to make a little crease and sew a few stitches to hold the shape. I sewed them about 6 rows from the last row of the head. I attached them so that they stand mostly straight, lined up with the eyes.

Tail
Chain to 20. Slip stitch in the second chain from hook and in each chain across. Fasten off leaving a tail to sew on. I made one in each of the rainbow colors. Sew on the bottom. I attached it with a needle and then tied underneath the piece.

Mane
Chain to 30. Slip stitch in the second chain from hook and in each chain across. Do not fasten off, but chain 25 and repeat the slip stitch process. Then chain 20 and slip stitch back and then 15 and slip stitch back for a total of 4 strips of mane. Fasten off and repeat with each color. Pin them on the head so that the shorter part is in the front by the horn and have it run vertically down the head. Sew them on.
