The Dalahäst, a Swedish good-luck charm.
Fill the whole body with embroidery in 10 different stitches, then finish with a fluffy mane and a swishing tail.
Hang it on a bag or a doorknob — it adds a warm accent to everyday life.
The mane comes as a pre-stitched part that you simply tuck in as you sew it up. Designer Mikako Yamamoto hand-picked every thread color from more than 400 shades.
Along with the special pattern, videos clearly show how to stitch and finish the piece.

The PDF pattern does not include materials. We will email the PDF pattern within 1–2 business days of purchase. The pattern for the “Lupine” color variation is also included, so you can enjoy two pieces. You will need a stiff mesh for the mane (the kit uses double needlepoint canvas, 34 threads/10 cm). As the mane and finishing are a little challenging, detailed videos show 9 of the stitches and how to sew it up.
*This is an embroidery kit to make yourself, not a finished piece.
