Then I farted around a bit in Photoshop to make this image, which is how it would look (roughly!) when embroidered on linen. (Oops, just realised I missed a bit of white around the head decoration...sorry.)
This is the original image from which I designed the chart.
Hope you like it!
*"it" being the shits.

Ooh. This is very nice. I work with lots of Swedish folks so I see this horse quite often and have grown rather fond of it. Thanks for sharing.
Oh gorgeous! I've seen something a little bit like this in an old Golden Hands Craft magazine - i'll see if I can find it to show you! Thanks for the embroidery love - thanks thanks thanks! xx
I do like it! You did a great job! I wish I could crack those illustration programs!
I am in the middle of making an embroidered Dala horse. Found the inspiration and pattern link in Flickr:

Hey, I got here by way of a google search for Dala horse images. This is so awesome!
Is this something that you would allow for personal/home use? because I'd totally love to embroider a little Dala horse on a pillow or something.
Thanks Eighdrien!
Of course you can use it -- that's why I posted it.
Enjoy!
I just found a pattern for a felt dala horse but it involved needle felting and I don't do that (yet). So I went googling for a pattern and found yours. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
I just blogged about your post and what I have been doing with this great pattern: http://troisbestioles.blogspot.com/2010/05/dalahast.html
Good job. I've been searching for a while for a good pattern (hadn't resigned myself to making my own yet) when I stumbled upon yours! My mother has a Swedish themed room (in a Western house) and this would be a great addition-quilt or pillow! Thank you for your hard work!
This is perfect because my little child enjoy so much those kind of works that's the reason I wanna teach him some excellent techniques.
You did a beautiful job from start to finish. I wish I had your talent.
This is perfect! You have made a great info here. Cheers.
