Hello and welcome to the crochet pattern for Celeste the Little Horse! Celeste is a little horse who always dreamed of flying and running through the clouds. While her dreams of actually flying might never come true, that doesn't stop her from putting on her little toy wings and pretending she's flying through the air. Feel free to design your Celeste with or without wings, but know her heart will always dream of the sky. Fun fact! Her little wings were inspired by the Skypieans of One Piece! That entire arc served as my background noise as I was designing her. I put a lot of care and love into designing this pattern and adding as many photos and additional instructions as I could. I hope that you enjoy following this pattern to make your own little Celeste. Thank you so much for your support. <3

This is a slightly harder beginner level pattern. There are various points throughout the pattern that require you to skip or work into a specific stitch in order to form the correct shape and attach pieces together. This might be more difficult to do if you are just starting off but can be a good way to help you level up if you have made other beginner patterns. Regardless, I have provided various pictures and detailed instructions to help you make this pattern. The pattern also links to my YouTube where you can find video tutorials for some of the more confusing stitches.

Skills and stitches that are necessary for this pattern are listed below:
Basic Stitches: slip knot, chain stitches, single crochet, single crochet increase, single crochet decrease, half double crochet, half double crochet increase, half double crochet decrease, fasting off
Special Crochet Stitches: color change, invisible single crochet decrease, invisible half double crochet decrease

I have broken down some rows in this pattern to help walk you through certain step by step instructions. These rows will read as 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e and so on. These are all part of row 1 (or whichever number you see in front of the letter), they have just been broken down to allow for detailed step by step pictures of certain stitches or rows that may contain a more complicated step.
Sample row:
R6: (sc, sc-inc)x3, 3sc, (sc, sc-dec)x2, 2sc, sc-inc, (hdc-inc)x2, (sc-inc)x2, 2ss, ch1 [30]
This reads as: Row 6. Complete one single crochet plus one single crochet increase three times. Complete three single crochet. Complete one single crochet plus one single crochet decrease two times. Complete two single crochet. Complete one single crochet increase. Complete two consecutive half double crochet increases. Complete two consecutive single crochet increases. Complete two consecutive slip stitches. Complete a chain one. There are 30 stitches in this row (note how the ch1 does not count towards the final stitch count, but the ss do count towards the final stitch count).
The stitch count at the end of the row indicates the row has ended and there should be that number of stitches in that row.
When directed to fast off, cut the yarn at the specified length and pull the loose end through the last stitch.

Sk: slip knot

Safety Warnings
I do not recommend the dolls made from this pattern be given to infants, toddlers or young children. This pattern uses doll safety eyes which can pose a choking hazard. This pattern also creates small pieces which may also pose a choking hazard. Always supervise children when playing with dolls made from this pattern.
Though all of the pieces should be securely sewn, always supervise children when playing with this toy as pieces may come loose with enough force and pose a choking hazard.
Use caution when using scissors as they have sharp blades. Keep fingers away from their cutting edges. Use only for their intended purpose and with care.
Sewing pins should be stored in a designated area or pincushion when not in use. Use caution when using pins such as to not prick yourself. Use sewing pins with caution and for their intended purpose.
