My knitted seahorse

Posted by Rill on Sep 20th, 2009 in Seahorse Crafts | 2 comments

So I finally got around to knitting the vintage seahorse pattern I found on eBay.

It only took me a couple of hours to make and the pattern was easy to follow.

Instead of using the yarn suggested in the pattern I used some left-over sock yarn in ocean-inspired colours, and because I didn't have any felt I made the seahorse's eyes from turquoise seed beads.

The end result was much smaller than the one suggested in the pattern because I used size 2 needles and sock yarn - the piece measures just 5 inches. I gave it to my husband as a Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) present - now I just have to keep it away from Farfl!

If you would like to try knitting your own seahorse click on any of the links below (they are all items from FanncyNancy) and then click on the link underneath "Visit seller's store". This will take you to 's store which is called "". Then type "seahorse" into the search box on the left side of the eBay store page and it will pop up.
