I have created another unicorn for my daughter’s collection. Seems like Unicorns are still her favorite and I am all for it! This time around I thought a little dress would be so cute on the little unicorn. She is worked up from the legs, in rounds to the top of the head just like my previous amigurumi. I hope you enjoy this new free pattern! More coming soon!

Read Before beginning
- STITCH MARKER – You will be working in rounds so keep a stitch marker close to use when working up the doll. Unless otherwise stated to CH and turn. They will mark the 1st st of each round. I use scrap yarn pieces.
- TENSION – Make sure you use a tight enough tension to help close any “holes” a loose tension may cause. I crochet yarning under then Over to create a tighter stitch. Go down a hook size if needed. ( my tension is naturally tight)
- PATTERN- (Example – *SC in 8, INV DEC in the next. Repeat from * to the end. (36) ) You will end that round with the second step of what that round instructs. This will vary.
- ASSEMBLY – The amigurumi is worked up by first making two legs then joining together. I have a YOUTUBE VIDEO on how to do that https://youtu.be/h4A5-Lm-yPM . Then you work up the body and head. Other body parts are made and sewn on after.
- POLY- FIL – Stuff using small amounts at a time so it doesn’t create dense spots. Add a little extra in the neck area for support.

Sewing:
Add 3 of the short curls to the back of the Unicorn for the tail. I placed them as close together as I could.
Take 3 of the long curls and sew them between the ears. Picture 1.
The last 2 long curls and place them underneath the 3 curls to fill in the gap. P{icture 2.
For the last short curl, I placed it on the top with the end towards the front of the right ear.
Eyes and blush
With black yarn embroider eyes as seen below on both sides. I use Rounds 50 & 51 for the eyes. 6 stitch spaces apart.
Blush is optional. I use cosmetic grade blush (ELF pink blush) with a small brush and added a little bit at a time, right below the eye. You can also use pink yarn as an option.
