Crochet Pony Fluttershy - MLP:FIM Pony



For those of you who aren't Bronies, this is Fluttershy. For those of you who are Bronies, I'll gladly wait until you're finished squeeing at the screen. (It's ok, I understand. Imagine the squees when she was reveal to her recip!)

Ok, are you (and everyone you called into the room) done squealing with joy? Good. Here's some more pictures.

 

 Now you should be advised that ponies (and Fluttershys in particular) take quite a while to complete. Just getting her mane right was at least two weeks of work. However, she was my first pony, I was blazing a trail, so now hopefully all future ponies will be much less stressful. (Fluttershy? Stressful? How out of character.) Heck, even if the next ponies (I fully intend to make every pony and Discord someday) are stressful, I have Fluttershy around to hug. What could possibly be better than that? So feel free to order a pony, knowing it literally comes with love in every stitch.
Special Feature: It's a freaking pony, what more could you want? Now that I have a typical pony down, you can get any pony! Feel free to ask for O.C. ponies, too! I'll definitely need a picture, though. Also, be warned that ponies with different bodies--like Celestia or the Changelings or baby ponies--will require additional time for me to figure out.
Amy's Hindsights: It's never nice to pick on Fluttershy, but I think I want to change the hind legs; to me they just kind of abruptly stop and don't show the hip line on the character design. Also, this was my first time working with felt like this, so my felt work can only get better!
Acknowledgements: I did not come up with the basic pattern for this design. I found this pattern online on a blog called Hooked on Anime. I have changed a few things, the most obvious being my approach to the eyes and hair, but also in more subtle areas like the neck and hind legs. So in a way, this is my pattern, but it's so rude to take someone else's pattern, change it a bit, and call it your own. There are other ponies besides Fluttershy, including some OC(ish) ponies with accessories!
