These are super amazing.
I wish I knew how you made them. These look sooo good.
Seeing all of these makes me want to try and make some but I'm scared that I'll ruin it. x^x I have no ponies and wish to have some..
Do you use a tutorial?
If so can it be shared?
GAHHH THEY ALL LOOK SO AMAZING!!!!!!
I wish I could make ponies someday...

What pony would you say would be the easiest to start with for beginner plushie creators like myself?
I have no clue where to start or how to do anything to make ponies... I have yarn skills but not as good as where you stand.

If you leave the cutie mark out and stitch closed eyes, every pony is about the same difficulty. My first knitted pony was Fluttershy and I think shes one of the easiest, both for knitting and sewing, because she has only two colours and an easy to figure out hairstyle.
Im sure there are a few tutorials for knitting animals, even if its not a pony you can learn from it. Maybe someone has a pattern for sale.
Figuring out a pattern for a 3D thing isnt easy, I myself wouldnt know how to make a pattern for a standing pony. If youre making a pattern you can make a paper shape and fold it to see if it looks ok, then knit that shape and remember to make it big enough so it can stretch in every dimension. For the head I made a head shape and mirrored it on the bottom side, so that it looks like the head from the side only when you fold it and sew it up, then you turn it over and stuff it.
I hope this helps you a little ^^ I tried my best to explain it. If it doesnt work for you at all, might I suggest you try sewing? There are some good free patterns with explanation and all. And its probably less aggravating

Oh wow ok.
Hmm... I don't have any fluttershy colors for the reason why I'm currently on a tight budget. Besides I have too much yarn already. Maybe I'll just make a random pony, who knows.
It's funny how you say you wouldn't know how to make a pattern for a standing pony, your ponies all look like they could possibly stand somehow. Even just a little.
Lol and I've tried sewing, I'm afraid of needles. I mean needles that can prick me.
Plus I always have had a fear that if using a sewing machine, and that my hand would get caught and sewed upon.
x.x yeah I have weird fears...
Thanks! I think that you're right on how I could try just testing out my own style of pattern instead of reading it.
