Unicorns are so adorable, so I just had to make one too. This is the fourth design in my “on a mantel” range. Have fun making yours!
MATERIALS NEEDED:
White double-knit wool (used for the main parts of the body)
Pale Pink Twinkle double-knit wool (from Lollipop) (used for the hoofs and snout)
Yellow Twinkle double-knit wool (from Lollipop) (used for the horn)
Purple double-knit wool (colour: Fig from Charity) (used for the main and tail)
Lavender double-knit wool (colour: Crocus from Charity) (used for the main and tail)
Mauve double-knit wool (colour: Mauve from Charity) (used for the main and tail)
Light grey double-knit wool (used to embroider the nostrals)
Light blue double-knit cotton (colour of eyes)
Stuffing (I prefer to use unicurl as stuffing)
No 3.5 and No. 4 crochet hooks
Sewing needle
Scissors

I used Charity’s double-knit wool, Raeesahs 100% Pure Cotton and Lollipop’s Twinkle double knitting, but it’s your own choice. Adjust your hook size according to your choice of wool/cotton. Use 0.5 size smaller than stated on the label to get a tighter tension for smaller holes so that the stuffing doesn’t come through.

All rows are crochet in rounds unless otherwise noted. You can use a stitch marker to keep track of your first stitch of each row
