Unicorn Puffy Stuffy Pattern
Body
in White
Begin with magic ring.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring; 6 sts
Rnd 2: inc in each st around; 12 sts
Rnd 3: inc in each st around; 24 sts
Rnd 4: (inc in next st, sc in next 3 sts)6x; 30 sts
Rnd 5-11: sc in each st around; 30
The dc bobbles will be worked with color changes. You must end your last st before each bobble, by pulling color (B) through to begin the bobble sts.
Rnd 12: (dc bobble cc, sc in next 14 sts)2x; 30 sts See picture below for dc bobble cc sequence, and step by step instruction is written above in the special stitches, for the color changes.
Rnd 13-14: sc in each st around; 30 sts
Rnd 15: sc in next 3 sts, dc bobble cc, sc in next 8 sts, dc bobble cc, sc in next 17 sts; 30 sts
Before you continue on to close, sew your eyes in place between rnds 7 and 8.
The sewn eyes for the puffy stuffy unicorn span about 4 sts, with 2 sts between them, covering the span of 1 rnd. Knot and fasten off all pieces inside the body. *If making the pocket pal you can sew the eyes OR use the safety eyes. Placement for the safety eyes is the same row, but about 4 or 5 stitches in between them.**You might even want to stop here, and make the snout (below). It is slightly easier to sew on before stuffing!
*** For pocket pal/keychain only
Before stuffing, place the screw of your rivets inside the unicorn, and push it through the stitches approximately 3 rows from center, so that there is room for the horn. You can even make the horn and sew that on first, for reference. Dab some fabric glue into the top of the screw on the top of the head, and quickly screw the top of our rivet onto the screw. The glue will help it to stay screwed on during use.
Begin stuffing. Body will stretch as you stuff, so stuff a little more after each rnd here before closing.
Rnd 16: (invsc2tog, sc in next 3 sts)6x; 24 sts
Rnd 17: invsc2tog 6x; 12 sts
Rnd 18: invsc2tog 6x; 6 sts
Complete stuffing, if you can put anymore through the middle.
Fasten off and weave the end around the hole to close. Your HOOK NOOK ends weaver is the perfect tool for pulling those final ends through your puffy stuffy!

You should have a total of 5 ringlets for the mane of your puffy stuffy unicorn. Fasten off leaving a very long tail for sewing. Sew the mane onto the head with the shortest ringlet to the front/side of the horn, and the others all turning toward the back. The style depends upon how you sew it on! You can have the ringlets dangle, or, like pictured, sew them in flower like curls.
Ears in White, make 2
*Note, the left ear (your right with unicorn facing you) is ONE rnd shorter to account for the extra lift of the hair.
Begin with magic ring.
Rnd 1: 4 sc in magic ring; 4 sts
Rnd 2: (inc, sc in next st)2x; 6 sts
Rnd 3: (inc, sc in next 2 sts)2x; 8 sts
Stop here and fasten off for the left ear. Leave long tail for sewing.
Rnd 4: (inc, sc in next 3 sts)2x; 10 sts
Fasten off, and leave long tail for sewing.
Sew the taller ear to the side without the hair, next to the horn. Sew the shorter ear on top of the hair, on the other side of the horn.
For some finishing touches to your puffy stuffy unicorn or pocket pal, add a little blush to the cheeks and inner ears. If you have been making the keychain ption, attach your key ring and lobster clasp, and your Pocket Pal Unicorn Keychain is now ready for use!
