Unicorn Pattern

Body

Use medium weight white yarn and an F hook:

RND 1: 2sc in each sc around (10)

RND 2: *sc1, 2sc in next sc* repeat around (15)

RND 3: *sc2, 2sc in next sc* repeat around (20)

RND 4: *sc3, 2sc in next sc* repeat around (25)

RND 5-16: sc around (25) Stuff as you go.

RND 17: *decrease, sc3* repeat around (20)

RND 18: *decrease, sc2* repeat around (15)

RND 19: *decrease, sc1* repeat around (10)

RND 20: decrease around (5) Sew up hole.

Ears (Make Two)

Use the same white yarn as you used for the body and an F hook:

sc5 in the magic circle loop

RND 1: 2sc in each sc around (10)

RND 2: *sc1, 2sc in next sc* repeat around (15)

Cut thread and leave a tail for sewing onto the head.

Head

Use the same white yarn as you used for the body and an F hook:

sc5 in the magic circle loop

RND 1: 2sc in each sc around (10)

RND 2: *sc1, 2sc in next sc* repeat around (15)

RND 3-12: sc around (15)

Add safety eyes and sew on ears by pinching them in half and sewing one edge one row of stitching from the edge of where you are crocheting round 12. Stuff head as you go.

RND 13: *decrease, sc1* repeat around (10)

RND 14: decrease around (5) Sew up hole and sew head to the body.

Legs (Make Four)

Start with yellow/gold yarn for the feet and use an F hook:

sc5 in the magic circle loop

RND 1: 2sc in each sc around (10)

RND 2: sc around back loops only (10)

Switch to the same white yarn you used for the body.

RND 3-12: sc around (10)

Cut thread and leave a tail to sew to the body. I stuffed the legs very stiffly to hold the body up well. Sew legs to the body.

Horn

Use the same yellow/gold you used for the bottom of the legs. Use an F hook:

sc6 in the magic circle loop

RND 1-2: sc around (6)

RND 3: decrease, sc4 (5)

RND 4: sc around (5)

Cut thread and sew up the hole by adding several stitches to make a point in the horn. This part is hard to write as a pattern. Give yourself a few tries until you get the perfect horn point. Sew the horn to the head. I only stuffed it lightly with the excess yarn ends.

Hair (Make Four of Each Color)

Choose colors: purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and pink. Use an F hook:

Make a length of ch stitches.

Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, sc2 in each ch. This will make the hair curl. You can decide how long you want the hairs to be by varying the length of the chain. My longest hair was a chain of 25 and my shortest was a chain of 8.
