I would like to share with you a free crochet pattern from Olga Romakhina on how to make a palm-sized unicorn. The height of the crochet toy is about 15 cm. The designer used YarnArt Jeans yarn and a suitable size hook to make this unicorn. You will also need Alize Baby Softy plush yarn to make the mane and ponytail. The legs and arms of our unicorn are made at the body crochet stage.

The use of white yarn was given great importance in making the toy, and it is definitely useful to do the same. Now if you are ready, let’s start and crochet this toy together step by step.

2. YarnArt JEANS yarn color 03 (main).

ASSEMBLY.
In order to sew the head evenly, I fix it on the crochet hook.
To make the head sit tightly and not dangle, stuff the filler into the hole while sewing.
I used 6 mm beads as eyes, having made a pre-tightening on the muzzle.
I make the tightening and eyes at the beginning and at the end of the HDC additions in the 11th row.
I used the “Azhurnaya” embroidery thread from “Pekhorka”
I fixed the mane and tail using the tassel principle on the scarf
Well, your unicorn is ready!
I hope that the creation process was easy and exciting for you, and the result met your expectations!
