Have you hugged your unicorn today? This extraordinary creature is said to have magical healing powers within its horn. And who doesn’t need a bit of magic from time to time? The rainbow hooves and mane are extra cheerful, perking up any room where this unicorn resides.

The spiraling horn happens as a result of a few increases right next to a few decreases. Be careful not to miss the first half of the first decrease—it’s easy to miss. Within the directions for the hooves are instruction for a join that reduces the appearance of a jog in color. A little crocheted strip, made in rainbow colors takes the guesswork out of adding the mane to the head. Simply attach the fringe to the mane following the colors in the strip, then sew the strip to the head.
