For those who like to knit and are looking for projects to see them through winter, Virginia-based Knit Fink, Becca Compton, offered to “write you a pattern you can’t refuse” The end result is ‘Mr. Edless,’—the top end of a headless horse. The finished knitted horse head measures 18” x 20” not counting the ears.

The pattern is one of several [free patterns](http://knit-fink.livejournal.com/profile) that Becca has posted online. Mr. Edless however, comes with a film recommendation: 'The Godfather' (1972, rated R).
