It looks that I'm coming out a bit late with this new design, since the Unicorn Day fell ll on April the 9th this year!
Anyway, the Unicorn mania has been around since 2013 and it hasn't slowed since then...so I'm pretty sure there are still many and many unicorn lovers out there just waiting for a new Unicorn Craft to make!
Today's project is super easy and it requires just minimal crochet knowledge.
Apart from the horn and the ear, the entire unicorn is worked in rows.
The body is made by two identical panels attached together and stuff lightly with polyester fiber.
So beginner crocheters don't be shy, take out your hooks and yarn and give this project a try!
Here's the FREE pattern of the Unicorn! ...have fun!
