MADE TO ORDER.
Meet Snowflake: the Appaloosa pony, with her snowflake dappling decorating her behind, just like the unique and beautiful breed!
The knitted result is stunning! Snowflake turned out so gorgeous, I can't stop fingering and snuggling her against my face. My little sister is equally enthralled (we have to take turns 'babysitting' her! ;o). My Mom inadvertently named her, as she explained what a close likeness my knitted stitches are to the actual breed's coloring; the white speckles are 'snowflaked' into their behinds, just like my white knitted stitches.
Snowflake stands about 7″ tall and around 8″ long. She's firm enough to stand on her own, and even carry a rider!
All her pieces are securely stitched on, making her a safe, fun, little friend for your child! Simple Waldorf inspired features make for more imaginative, creative, child play. A wonderful birthday gift for any little cowgirl. 🙂
—Made to order. Please allow 1-14 days for me to knit her up for you. She will be made in the same way, but as with all things handmade, there may be subtle differences.—

All natural: Snowflake is knit out of 100% soft Peruvian Highland wool, and is stuffed with clean, fluffy wool from our very own flock of sheep! 🙂 (To see the wool stuffing process, check out the bottom picture: 1. First cuddle the soft sheepie to reassure em. 😉 2. Then shear the wool off their back. 3. Next, carefully wash the wool several times. 4 Card the wool into fluffy bats. 5. Stuff wool into knitted body to bring the life into the toy. 6. Finally: let the baby play and snuggle to his/her heart's content! 🙂
Wool is the perfect choice for toys, because it warms up against the body heat of the child's little hands and is slightly heavier, making the toy feel all the more life like. I've already noticed my little sister seems to really prefer these toys over previous polyester-filled ones that I've made her. Wool also repels dust and mites and is very healthy, clean and natural feeling; soft and warm.
Hand wash with care! Swish in warm soapy water, rinse gently and squeeze out the water. Lay flat to dry.
