Crocheting: Horse fly bonnet
43 kudoz

Horse fly bonnet

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Functional

For: Pets

Style: Classic, Outdoorsy


Materials

cotton yarns; not too thin

What was your inspiration?

A friend of a friend has some horses and takes part at contests. She needed several bonnets but had no money.

What are you most proud of?

I think I did a pretty good job. The horse bonnets fit very well and the colors can be matched to the horse's coat.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

check the Internet, mostly in Germand (Fliegennetz) (Ohrenhauben) and can find instructions with pictures to adapt. The crocheting pattern you may make up yourself.

Hi, do you have this pattern for the horse? I am new to this site, and don't see the pattern listed?

Wouldn't this w/o the face piece make a beautiful yoke for a little girl's dress.

I love the pattern of your design! However, I don't know what a "Horse Fly Bonnet" is...?

Hi, Neither did I at first. However, Its that funny ear/forehead cover they put on horses. It keeps the flies away from their eyes.

Amazing! They look lovely and very professionally made. I have friends with horses and now I know what to make them for birthdays - they would love them and I can match the colors to their tack colors. Thanks for sharing this great project!

You may check on the internet for some basic pattern or measure the horse. If you want to, I can search (my library) for the size pattern I made. Good luck.
