Sleepy Unicorn is a crochet unicorn pattern designed in a sitting pose with a turned head to show off the curly mane.

I personally dislike sewing, so to reduce this, the legs and head are crocheted directly onto the body. The mane, tail, ears, horn, and eyes are added separately.

This is an intermediate-level crochet pattern written in US terminology. The pattern includes step-by-step photos, and video tutorials for some of the trickier techniques.

The finished unicorn measures approximately 8½“ (22 cm) tall and 10” (25 cm) long when made using DK (Category 3 / Light Worsted) yarn and a 2.75 mm hook.

Pattern includes:

• Written instructions in US crochet terminology
• Step-by-step photo tutorials
• Video tutorials for selected techniques
• Guidance for constructing the body with minimal sewing

Materials used in the sample:

• 70g DK yarn for the body, ears, and eyelids
• 15g DK yarn for the hooves, horn, and eyes
• 60g self-striping DK yarn for the mane and tail
• 2.75 mm hook

The pattern works well with almost any yarn and hook combination, so you can create your own unique sleepy unicorn in any colors you choose.
