His head is from an old red jumper and his body from an old navy blue sweatshirt. The mane and tail I knitted using loop stitch. Having never done the stitch before I had to resort to my reference book, The Knitter's Bible by Claire Compton. Fortunately it has lots of pictures in it, so I managed to grasp the idea fairly quickly. I had to take a deep breath when it came to cutting the actual loops to give him straight hair as opposed to a curly sheep-like mop! Wonder if his streamlined locks will help him win a few races? Let's hope so!
