This pattern by Vanessa Mooncie originally appeared in the book Animal Heads: Trophy Heads to Crochet and is shared with permission from GMC Publications.

The direction of the zebra’s stripes is determined by the shaping of the head, crocheted in rounds and short rows. The mane is made by attaching tassels to the stitches and brushing through the yarn to tangle the fibres and help it stand on end.
