Hands (2 pieces)

With light yarn:
R1. 6 sc in MR
R2. 6 inc (12)
R3. (1sc, inc) х6 (18)
R4. BLO: 18 sc
R5-9. 18 sc (5 rows)

R20. (3 sc, dec) х3 (12)
R21. 6 sc for both walls, leave a thread for sewing.
Turn the handle over and crochet 18 sc at the beginning and end of the hoof where we knitted through the back loops.
Tip:Attach the thread not at the beginning/end of the row, but somewhere in the middle. Sew the arms near the neck, slightly diagonally.

Legs (2 pieces)

Note: Don’t finish crochet the legs right away if you plan to make them movable.
R1. 6 in MR
R2. 6 inc (12)
R3. (1 sc, inc) х6 (18)
R4. ( 2 sc, inc) х6 (24)
R5. BLO: 24 sc
R6-10. 24 sc (5 rows)
Change color.
R11. (2 sc, dec) х6 (18): For the back loops
R12-22. 18 sc (11 rows)

Turn the leg over and work 24 sc at the beginning and end of the hoof, where you crocheted the back loops. Tip: attach the yarn not at the beginning/end of the row, but somewhere in the middle.
If you plan to make regular legs, then at this stage knit 3 more rows of 18 sc, fold in half and knit 9 sc for both walls, sew to the body.
If you plan to make movable legs (in this case, the horse will be able to sit on its own), continue crochet according to the pattern:
Working with the first leg:
Insert the needle where the leg attaches to the body (be sure to insert it between the rows and posts), attach the button (if it’s a four-hole button, insert it through one and pull it out through the opposite one), and bring the thread out at the same place you inserted it. Note that there should be no stuffing between the button and the leg; the button should fit snugly. Stuff the leg as much as possible and finish knitting according to the pattern:
R3. (1 sc, dec) х6 (12)
R4. 12 sc
R5. 6 dec
R6. Tighten the hole, hide the thread.
Next, pull the thread through the body, bring it out where the second leg is attached, attach the button in the same way, and finish knitting. Insert it through the same hole on the body, and bring it out the same way to the first leg. Pull the thread tightly to prevent the legs from dangling. Use only strong threads. Tie the ends together and hide them in the body. The movable legs are ready.

Ears (2 pieces)

R1. 6 in MR
R2. 6 sc
R3. (1 sc, inc) х3 (9)
R4. (2 sc, inc) х3 (12)
R5-7. 12 sc (3 rows)
Slst, leave thread for sewing.

Nostrils (2 pieces)

You can embroider the nostrils, or make:
6 ch, sew to the nose.

Hair

You can do it in any way convenient for you.
How I did it:
We collect as many ch as the length of the mane will be (starting between the ears and ending at the end of the head. Next, from the 2nd loop, 46 ch, from the 2nd loop, 45 sc, slst in the same loop, slst. We continue in the same way in each ch.
You can change the length of your hair as you like.
I made two of these pieces to thicken the hair. I sewed on the mane.
