My Tiny Twilight Sparkle Pony (Crochet Pattern)

Hi everyone. After looking through the contests page in Instructables, this Challenge topic pulled me in and just made my mind go crazy to try something eensie-weensie. So I decided to crochet something magical, something tiny. What about crocheting a tiny Twilight sparkle pony? I thought for a while and I started to sketch out a layout .While creating the layout, I thought whether I could complete making it on time? With all these doubts, I stepped into this challenge. If you really love to crochet this, then follow along . In this instructable I will show you guys how to crochet Twilight sparkle's tiny version so that you can make one if you wanted to.

The result was unexpected. I also thought that I could not complete it on time. But at last I have completed and also shared the whole process with you guys. Initially this seems to be tough, but if you are determined to see the final result, everything would turn easy . If you are new to crochet, I would recommend you to use worsted yarn for this project because crocheting with thread is a bit tough and adding fine details is on the next level. If you are interested to challenge yourself, you can try to crochet with thread. If you had tried this pattern, don't forget to share your creations and your experiences in the comment section.
