blanket
We knit a rectangle - the base
Using a 3 mm hook and any yarn, for example blue color, we knit a chain of 23 air loops (VP).
Inserting the hook into each VP, starting from the second we knit single crochets until the end of the row (22), 1 VP, turn
We knit the remaining rows in the same way (each with 22 single crochets) until we reach the desired size. IN original description 27 cm, but I think you can measure it on a horse.
Having knitted the last row, we do not finish knitting, but continue to knit along the long side of the bedspread - we tie the fabric around the perimeter with single crochets. But not completely!
We tie 3 sides. Then we knit 10 single crochets along the last side and begin to knit the girth:
23 VP
Next, we knit 21 single crochets in this chain, we knit the last loop like this: insert the hook into the last VP of the chain, pull out the thread, insert the hook into the next loop of the blanket, pull out the thread, knit all three loops on the hook together, VP, turn
and another row of single crochets (22).
At the end, we make a loop for fastening the blanket: we knit 5 VPs and 1 single crochet (SC) in the first loop of the second row.
Button: white crochet yarn 3 mm
2 VP
1 round row 6 sc
2nd round increase = 12 RLS

Sew a button in the right place with colored thread to make it look like a flower.

Attach the threads for the tail in the same way.
We give the “hairstyle” the desired shape and cut it as you like.

Round flower

Consists of 7 round parts - 2 for the center and 5 petals

1 Knit orange in circular rows - 1 piece
2 petals Knit in dark blue - 5 pcs
3 central circle - dark orange - 1 pc.

1 row 6 VP connect into a ring (6)

Row 2 12 sc in ring

3rd row of increase = 24 RLS

Place the dark orange circle on top of the orange one. Sew them only in the center. Sew 5 petals evenly around the perimeter to the bottom circle.
Sew the flower to the blanket (sew petals and a light circle around the perimeter.
The edge of the dark orange circle can be gathered onto a thread and pulled together - you get this “button”

P.S.: I found a description of this unicorn on the Internet - hooray!

Happy knitting everyone!

We will get such a charming unicorn at the end of MK!

Hello, dear readers! Two weeks ago I decided to expand my horizons and take part in a knitting marathon, especially since the emphasis of the event is on children's things. :) And so the first task turned out to be knitting something on a fantasy theme! I'm not good friends with everyone fairy-tale characters, but for some reason the thought of a unicorn immediately came to mind. Then I remembered that I had long dreamed of knitting a toy for my daughter using the technique. amigurumi- these are Japanese toys with disproportionately large heads. After browsing the Internet, I finally fell in love with the image of a charming, gentle and slightly sad unicorn pony.

As you can see, I took the task seriously and drew several prototypes of the future unicorn, from which our dad chose one :)

My sketches of the future unicorn :)

There's only one question left: and how to knit such beauty?!

At first it seemed unrealistic, since I have poor understanding of diagrams and still don’t know how to do much. But soon I came across one MK video, in which knitting a unicorn turned out to be as easy as shelling pears! You can watch these video on YouTube. However, having knitted the first piece from the video, I realized that skipping to the right moment every time is a chore, I get confused in the rows, and, besides, the author does not always mention the number of columns in a row - for this reason I made mistakes several times and re-knitted ... In general, I decided to do detailed description of how to crochet this unicorn! Once you understand the principle, it is much easier to peek at the diagram than to replay the video over and over again. I made some changes and described everything in as much detail as possible, indicated the number of loops in each row - it’s simply impossible to make a mistake, and you can knit such a rainbow unicorn for your baby without any problems. It took me a week to do everything, about an hour a day.

So let's get started!

To knit a unicorn we will need:

• Main yarn (I have pink Madame Tricote Super Baby, 100% acrylic, density - 360 meters per 100 grams)
• Additional yarn (I have Pekhorka Perspective in violet color - wool/acrylic)
• Multi-colored yarn (for example, Cotton Gold Batik Alize, color 4530 - cotton/acrylic)
• Hook number 3
• Ribbon or marking ring
• Golden threads
• Pink and purple threads to match the color of the yarn, needle

All parts of the body, except the mane, are knitted in the round using regular stitches. The principle is the same! Once you try it, it won’t be so easy to stop knitting.

Unicorn body

In my opinion, this is the easiest part of the toy, so let's start with it! Further, as you get better at it, the process will become more enjoyable and faster, so you will be able to handle even more complex details;)

So, we knit the body of a unicorn:

First we dial 2 air loops and knit 6 stitches into the first loop. Next we knit in the round, not forgetting to mark the beginning of a new row. This can be done with a special marker or ribbon - it’s even more convenient, because you don’t need to reposition the marker every time!

2nd row: 1 stitch + increase (that is, one stitch in the first loop, two in the second, one in the third, two in the fourth, and so on) = 18 stitches in total.

Row 5: 4 stitches + increase = 36 stitches.

6th row: 5 stitches + increase = 42 st.

At the end of the sixth row you should have 42 stitches, don’t be lazy to check :)

Row 11: 5 stitches + decrease (that is, after knitting five stitches in a row, we knit the sixth and seventh stitches together according to this pattern, then again five stitches and decrease, etc.) = 36 stitches at the end of the row.

Row 12: stitches as is = 36 sts.

Row 13: 10 stitches + decrease = 33 stitches.

Row 14: stitches as is.

Row 15: 9 stitches + decrease = 30 stitches.

Row 16: as is.

Row 17: 8 stitches + decrease = 27 stitches.

Row 18: as is.

Row 19: 7 stitches + decrease = 24 sts.

The result is such a pot-bellied jug! Close the knitting and fill the body tightly with synthetic padding polyester (or other filler).

Unicorn body, side view

Unicorn body, back view

Unicorn head

Let's move on to the most important part of our unicorn's body - her head. If you knitted the torso without any problems, then there should be no problems with this detail either.

In the same way as with knitting the body, we cast on 2 air loops and knit 6 stitches into the first loop. Further:

Row 1: 2 stitches in each stitch of the previous row = 12 stitches in total.

Row 2: 1 stitch + increase = 18 stitches in total.

3rd row: 2 columns + increase (by analogy with the previous row: 1 column, 1 column, 2 columns and so on) = total 24 tbsp.

4th row: 3 stitches + increase = 30 st.

5th row: 9 stitches + increase = 33 st.

Row 6: 10 stitches + increase = 36 stitches.

Row 7: knit as is - in each column of the previous row along the column = a total of 36 sts.

Row 8: change the color to purple and knit as is.

Row 9: change the color to the main one and knit as is.

Row 10: 13 stitches, increase, 4 stitches, increase, 4 stitches, increase, 12 stitches = 39 stitches.

Row 11: 13 stitches, increase, 5 stitches, increase, 5 stitches, increase, 13 stitches = 42 stitches.

Row 12: 13 single crochet, two double crochet in one loop (increase), 6 double crochet, increase (double crochet), 6 double crochet, increase (double crochet), 14 single crochet = 45 sts.

Row 13: 14 stitches + increase = 48 stitches.

Rows 14-19: columns unchanged.

Row 20: 10 stitches + decrease = 44 stitches.

Row 21: 9 stitches + decrease = 40 stitches.

Row 22: 8 stitches + decrease = 36 stitches.

Row 23: 4 stitches + decrease = 30 stitches.

Row 24: 3 stitches + decrease = 24 stitches.

Row 25: 2 stitches + decrease = 18 stitches.

The result should be such a lamp-shaped part with an extension in the middle - we will then place the eyes along its edges.

Unicorn Handles

We collect two air loops of purple color. We knit 6 stitches into the first loop. Next we knit in a circle:

1st row: two single crochets in each column of the previous row = 12 tbsp.

2-4 row: 36 columns in a row.

Change the color to the main one.

Row 5: 1 stitch + decrease = 8 stitches.

Rows 6-14: 72 stitches in a row.

As a result, such matches come out - the hands of our unicorn.

Legs

We start knitting the unicorn's legs in an additional color - for me it's purple.

1st row: 6 stitches in the first loop.

2nd row: 1 stitch + increase = 12 tbsp.

Row 3: 1 stitch + increase = 18 stitches.

4th row: 8 stitches + increase = 20 st.

Row 5: stitches as is behind the back wall of the loops (!!!).

Row 6: 7 stitches, 2 decreases, 9 stitches = 18 stitches.

Change the color to the main one (I have pink).

Row 7: 7 stitches, 2 decreases, 7 stitches = 16 stitches.

8th row: 6 stitches + decrease = 14 tbsp.

Row 9: just stitches, no changes.

Row 10: 5 stitches + decrease = 12 stitches.

Row 11: no changes.

Row 12: 4 stitches + decrease = 10 stitches.

Row 13: no changes.

Row 14: 3 stitches + decrease = 8 stitches.

For some reason, I suffered the most with the legs 🙈 I constantly ended up with extra columns. I hope everything went smoother for you, and my mistakes will be attributed to fatigue after a capricious day with the baby))
Unicorn ears

We collect 2 air loops. We knit 4 single crochets in the first loop.

1st row: knit two stitches in each stitch of the previous row = 8 tbsp.

2nd row: 3 stitches + increase = 10 tbsp.

3rd row: 4 stitches + increase = 12 tbsp.

4th row: 5 stitches + increase = 14 tbsp.

5th row: 6 stitches + increase = 16 tbsp.

6th row: columns without changes = 16 tbsp.

Unicorn mane

1. We collect 23 air loops of the main color (pink) and 3 loops of red (or another color of the rainbow).
2. We knit two double crochets into the third loop from the end.
3. Next, add 2 double crochets to each stitch and change the color every 4 stitches. That is, it turns out 6 colors for 24 loops. If you have 5 colors, initially cast on 27 stitches (25+2 for the rise) and change the color every 5 stitches. I hope the principle is clear :)
4. When we have finished the first row, we cast on 3 lifting loops, turn the knitting over and knit two double crochets into the first loop. In the next one we knit three double crochets, in the third - two, in the fourth - three, and so on we alternate, not forgetting to change the colors according to the color of the loop of the previous row! We thread the ends of the threads as we knit.

In the end you will get such a curly multi-colored mane - just a bomb;)

Horn

We collect 2 air loops. We knit 4 stitches in the first loop.

1st row: 1 stitch + increase = 6 tbsp.

2nd row: 5 stitches + increase = 7 tbsp.

3rd row: columns as is = 7 tbsp.

4th row: 6 stitches + increase = 8 tbsp.

Row 5: as is = 8 tbsp.

6th row: 7 stitches + increase = 9 tbsp.

Row 7: as is = 9 tbsp.

8th row: 8 stitches + increase = 10 tbsp.

The result is a very small cone-shaped part. Fill it and, if you wish, you can sew gold thread directly along the “floors” of our Leaning Tower of Pisa - you get a very impressive horn!

Well, it’s time to put all the parts of the future unicorn’s body into place! Don’t try to do everything perfectly - that’s why it’s handmade, so that the thing is unique, with its own twists;)

1. First of all, we try on the head and secure it with pins. The strip of double crochets should be located in the middle. For better orientation, stick two pins into the outermost columns of this strip - where the unicorn's eyes will be. Flatten the unicorn's butt a little and make sure that it sits straight. If it doesn’t work, pin the legs - they will balance the toy. Everything suits me? Then carefully sew the head with the thread left over from knitting.
2. Place the legs with the top part about three rows above the butt vertically and in the center of the body horizontally (see the profile of my unicorn). Lock it in. Does the toy still fit securely? Then let's sew!
3. Next, we sew the handles in the same way. I placed them two rows below the head and also in the center of the body.
4. Next comes our gorgeous mane. We pin it with pins from the back of the head to the crown, making sure that the part fits into a beautiful snake. Well, it turned out beautiful!
5. Sew on the horn with a thin purple thread. Let the horn not be completely vertical.
6. Next we sew on the ears. Don't forget to give them an ear shape, slightly flattening them on both sides. Sew both from the outside and from the inside of the ear - it will be more reliable. If the ears are slightly different, this will give the unicorn an even more charming look;)
7. Make two contrasting French knots on the face - these will be the unicorn's nostrils.
8. Glue the eyes between the outer double crochets in the arch.
9. Next we will make the tail. To do this, take 3 threads of several colors 15 cm long, tie them with a thin thread in the middle and fold them in half. At the base of the tail, it also wouldn’t hurt to tie it with a thick thread. Trim the ends and sew to the butt!
10. The body seemed somehow bare to me, so I sewed on decorative buttons :)

So, our unicorn is ready!

Amigurumi unicorn toy: how to knit a pink unicorn. The complete scheme is free!

Wonderful, magical, rainbow unicorns! Girls of all ages adore them so much, especially after cartoons :) For a long time I was looking for a unicorn knitting pattern, but I never found a clear description in Russian of the toy model that was interesting to me. There are paid schemes that are quite interesting. I didn’t want to buy it, so I took the English dragon as a basis (a strange option))). I’ve slightly altered the diagram, so if there are any discrepancies in it, please write to me and I’ll definitely correct it! So, let's start our favorite activity!

We will need:

• Cotton yarn or cotton/polyester pale pink and hot pink yarn 50g. 1 piece each
• Filling as available (I have synthetic fluff)
• Sew on eyes
• Hook No. 2
• Knitting needles No. 2
• Sew-on eyes 10mm
• Marker for displaying a row
• Sewing needle

Unicorn knitting pattern

Head

I use pale pink yarn. We knit with single crochets

1. 6 stitches in the magic circle, tighten the loop and place the marker

2. increase in each loop, 12p

3. 1st, increase in the second column, repeat, 18p

4. 2st stitch, increase in the 3rd stitch, 24p

5-8. no change 24p

9. 3 stitches, increase in the 4th stitch, 30p

10. 4st, increase in the 5th column, 36p

11. 5st, increase in the 6th column, 42p

12-16. We knit without changes, 42p

17. In every 6 loops - decrease, 36p

18. In every 5 loops - decrease, 30p

19. In every 4 loops - decrease, 24p

20. In every 3 loops - decrease, 18p

21. In every 2 loops - decrease, 12p

22. In each 1 loop - decrease, 6p

Our eyes are located between rows 11 and 12 and about 11 stitches from each other. Make sure they are exactly where you want them to look nice. Add filler as you knit, otherwise it will be more difficult to do at the end. Add the final filler, and join the last six stitches to close the head neatly.

Ears (two parts)

1. 5st from magic circle, tighten the loop and place a marker, 5p

2. repeat, only 5 loops

3. 1st, increase in 2p, 7p

4. no changes. 7p

5. 1st, increase in 2p, 10p

6 – 7. no changes.

Pull the empty loop through to finish, leaving a long tail. Don't stuff your ears to flatten them.

Paws (hands)

We start with bright pink yarn.

3. No changes. We knit on both walls (12p)
4 and 5. Knit as is (12p)

Change the yarn to pink.
6-21. We knit without changes (18p)

Cut the thread, leaving a small tip. I tie the arms into the body, if you sew, you need to leave the thread longer.
Fill the unicorn's arms a little with synthetic fluff (or any other filler), but not too tightly.

Legs and torso

We start with bright pink yarn.

1. Cast on 6 loops (6p) into the amigurumi ring
2. Increase in each stitch (12 stitches)
3. In every 2 loops, increase (18 stitches)
4 -5. We knit without changes (18p). Change the thread to a pale pink shade.
6-12 We knit 12 loops without changes.

Fasten and cut the thread at the first leg. If you want the seam to look inward, then place the legs with the last loops of the row opposite each other.

We knit the second leg, but without cutting the thread, but continuing to knit the body.
Make sure the legs are installed correctly, sew additional seams or cut off unnecessary threads if necessary. Continue knitting the body, starting with the second leg.
While knitting, gradually fill the toy with filler. At the end of knitting, stuffing the toy will be extremely problematic.
We connect the legs through 2 air loops.
15. Knit 18 loops from one leg. Then 2 loops from the air connection loops, then another 18 loops of the second leg and 2 more connection loops. Here you can hang a marker, this will be the beginning of the row (42p)
16. We knit 42 sc without changes
17. 1 increase in 8 loops, then increase through 15 loops, another 8 loops and 1 increase (46p)
18. Knit without changes, 46 loops each
19. 1 increase in 8 loops, then increase through 15 loops, another 8 loops and 1 increase (50p)
19-25. without changes
26. 6 sc, decrease, repeat (44p)
27-28. in all we knit without changes (44 sts)
29. decrease, 5 sc, repeat (38 sts)
30. We knit in all without changes (38 sts)
31. 4 sc, decrease, repeat (32p) Start stuffing the legs and body and continue as you knit.
32. Decrease 1, 3 stitches, repeat (26 stitches)
33. no changes (26p), in this row we mark a place and at the same time we knit the hands and paws of our unicorn.
34. no changes (26p)
35. Decrease, 2 stitches, repeat (20 stitches)
36. * 3sc, decrease, from * repeat 4 times (16p)

37-38 unchanged. Fasten it, cut the thread and hide it. Fill the toy to the top with filler.

Mane and tail

We cast on about 50-60 loops on the knitting needles. We close them immediately with a crochet hook and make a spiral. You need about 15-17 of these spirals for the tail. About 20 per head. Focus on your taste. Or you can make it in the form of threads.

Assembling the toy

1. Sew on the eyes.
2. Sew on the ears. First we mark it with needles so that it is symmetrical and leaves room for the horn.
3. Sew on the horn. You need to wrap any beautiful thread (you can use floss) around the horn.
4. Outlining a smile (optional)
5. You can “powder” it by tinting your cheeks with pastels.
6. Sew on the head.
7. Sew on the mane and tail.
8. You can sew a skirt from organza or tulle.

Unicorn amigurumi for beginners
with a detailed description of knitting elements and techniques

Translation of the diagram into Russian was prepared by Handcraft Studio.

You will need:

• crochet hook 3 mm
• 70 g worsted yarn in white or cream color
• a small amount of contrasting yarn (20 g) for hooves
• a small amount of fluffy yarn for hair and scarf
• 9 mm eyes
• chalk (for blush on the cheeks)
• black thread for eyelash embroidery
• tapestry needle
• scissors
• material for filling toys
• crochet hook 10 mm (scarf only)

Abbreviations:

• RLS - single crochet
• СС – connecting post
• VP - air loop
• invisible decrease - invisible decrease of loops (2 single crochets, knitted together behind the front walls of the loops)
• increase - adding loops (we knit 2 single crochets into one base loop)

Connecting post
Insert the hook into the loop, yarn over and pull the thread through all the loops.

Single crochet
Insert the hook into the loop, grab the thread and pull it through this loop (two loops have formed on the hook), yarn over, pull the thread through both loops.

Decrease loops
Insert the hook into the loop, grab the thread and pull it through this loop (there are two loops on the hook), insert the hook into the next loop and pull the thread through this loop (there are 3 loops on the hook), yarn over and pull the thread through all three loops.

Invisible decrease of loops (2 single crochets, knitted together)
Please note that when performing stealth decreases you should only work the front edges of your stitches.
Insert the hook under the front wall of the first loop. Do not yarn over or catch the thread as you would with a normal decrease. Insert the hook under the front wall of the next loop. To do this you will have to tilt the hook down. Then bring your hook up, passing the second loop through the front wall. Thus, three loops were formed on the hook. Grab the yarn and pull it through the first 2 loops on the hook, making two loops. Grab the yarn again and pull it through the remaining two loops on the hook.

Color change
Insert the hook into the loop, grab the thread and pull it through this loop (two loops have formed on the hook). Drop a thread of that color, yarn over with another thread, and pull it through the two loops on your hook. Continue knitting with a new color thread. When working on multi-colored stripes, do not disconnect the threads; when necessary, simply pick up the thrown thread and continue knitting.

Magic ring
Fold the thread into a ring, leaving a small tail. Insert the hook into the center of the ring, yarn over and form a loop. Next, yarn over and bring the yarn through to make the first loop (don't count it as the first single crochet). Continue knitting in the same way until you have cast on enough stitches for the first row. For example, if the pattern requires 6 single crochets, repeat this procedure 6 times (insert hook into ring, catch yarn and make a loop, yarn over and pull yarn through two loops). When finished, pull the tail to close the ring.
Always move the knitting marker higher at the end of each row to make it easier to work on subsequent rows.
The number of stitches in a row is indicated at the end of the row in parentheses.

Amigurumi unicorn crochet pattern

Head
Take prepared white or cream thread and a 3 mm hook.

2nd row. [increase], repeat (12)

4 row. , repeat (24)
5-8 row. Sc in each loop (24)
9 row. , repeat (30)
10 row. , repeat (36)
11 row. 15 RLS, 6 times increase, 15 RLS (42)
12-16 row. Sc in each loop (42)
Place the eyes between rows 11 and 12 about 11 stitches apart, making sure they are exactly where you want them before joining as you will no longer be able to adjust their position. Now stuff the head until it is firm, you can add more material as we will be decreasing the number of stitches to cover the head next.
17th row. , repeat (36)
18 row. , repeat (30)
19 row. , repeat (24)
20 row. , repeat (18)
21 row. , repeat (12)
22 row. invisible decrease, repeat (6)
Pass yarn through all remaining 6 stitches to complete head.


Ears (2 parts)
1 row. 5 sc in magic ring, tighten and place marker (5)
2nd row. [Sc in each stitch] (5)
3rd row. , repeat, complete 1 sc in last stitch (7)
4 row. [Sc in each stitch] (7)
5 row. , repeat, complete 1 sc in last stitch (10)
6-7 row. [Sc in each stitch], repeat
Finish with a connecting post, leaving a long thread. Don't stuff your ears, just spread them out.

Horn
1 row. 4 sc in the magic ring, tighten (you can wait and not place the marker until the beginning of the 3rd row, since before that the knitting will be quite tight)
2nd row. Sc in each loop (4)
3rd row. , repeat (6)
4 row. Sc in each loop (6)
5 row. , repeat (9)
6-7 row. Sc in each loop (9)
8 row. , repeat, complete 1 sc in last stitch (13)
9-10 row. Sc in each loop (13)
Finish with a connecting post, leaving a long thread. Stuff the horn, help yourself with the point of the hook to stuff the horn right to the top. Pin the ears approximately where you want them to be. About 4 rows above the eyes and sew them on. Attach the horn to the middle of your knitted unicorn's head and sew.


Now you need to wrap the horn, take a long thread contrasting color approximately 30 inches long (approximately 75 cm). Insert the needle into the upper part of the head, 4 rows away from the horn, and bring it out at the level of the 1st row of the horn, as in the first picture. Leave a long tail outside and press it with your finger, now wrap the thread tightly around the horn, it should look like rows of stitches (picture 2).
When you get to the top (now a little trick), hold the thread wrapped tightly around the horn, insert the needle into the very top of the horn (medium sized stitches may be too tight, but the ones in the picture are just right), pass it through the horn and pull it out there, where the tail of the thread remains. Make sure that the thread is still tightly wrapped around the horn, make a double knot, hide it inside and cut the thread.


To do hair for unicorn , take your fluffy colored thread, wrap it around your palm 15 or 20 times (depending on how much hair you want), take scissors and cut the threads along the bottom fold (picture 1). Take a strand and bend it in half, pass the resulting loop through the loop on the unicorn's head, near the base of the horn. Next, take the ends and pass them through a loop of fluffy thread to make a knot and secure it to your head. Continue in this manner, pinning the hair on the head and a little at the back to create a small mane. Once all the strands are tied, trim them a little to tidy them up. Now you can add eyelashes using black thread, cotton or other suitable for embroidery, as in picture 4. Make a knot and hide the ends inside.


Legs (2 parts)
Start with a contrasting color. Do not immediately secure the other leg.
1 row. 6 sc in magic ring, tighten and place marker (6)

3rd row. , repeat (18)
4-5 row. Sc in each loop (18)
Return to the main color.
6-12 row. Sc in each loop (18)
Connecting post to finish knitting only on the first leg.
On the second leg.
13 row. 3 ch, connect with the other leg with a single crochet and knit 1 sc in each loop in the circle of both legs, sc in each of the three ch. The row will be completed when you complete the other side of 3 ch (42).
Position the marker. Now we will knit the body of the unicorn.
14-30 row. Sc in each loop (42)
31 row. , repeat (36)
32-33 row. Sc in each loop (36)
34 row. , repeat (30)
Row 35-36. Sc in each loop (30)
Stuff the body until it is firm, you may want to add more cotton wool as this is followed by decreasing stitches to complete the piece.
37 row. , repeat (24)
Row 38-39. Sc in each loop (24)
40 row. , repeat (18)
41-43 row. Sc in each loop (18)
Finish with a connecting post, leaving a long thread. Finish stuffing the body and sew the head to it.


Hands (2 parts)
1 row. 6 sc in magic ring, tighten and place marker (6)
2nd row. Increase, repeat (12)
Next comes one row where you use only the back wall of the loop.
3rd row. Sc in each loop (12)
Next, use both walls of the loops again
4-5 row. Sc in each loop (12)
6th row. , repeat (8)
Change the color
7-21 row. Sc in each loop (8)

Finish with a connecting post, leaving a long thread. Stuff your hands only in the hoof area. Sew the arms to the sides of the body. Make the tail for the unicorn the same way you did the hair, only make the strands longer and use 2 strands together to make the tail thicker. You will need to make 2 or 3 ties, and do them very close to each other.


To make it simple loop scarf , use a large 10 or 12 mm hook, use fluffy thread, cast on 25 loops, pull each end tightly and cut off the ends. Fold the scarf in half, wrap it around the unicorn's neck and thread the ends through the loop.


To do blush, take a pink or red crayon and draw them on your cheeks. Yours amigurumi toy ready! All that remains is to solemnly hand it over to its future owner!
