Reny's Place....: Baby Unicorn Crochet Pattern, Free

This baby unicorn is going to be adorable on my Whimsy Tree this Christmas. He took some work and some redoing before I got him the way I wanted. He needed to be small enough for an ornament and had to have lots of color. I decided to give him round feet just for something a little different. His mane and tail were the biggest challenge. I tried about 4 different ideas before I settled on separating the yarn plies to make a fluffy mane and tail. His finished size is about 4 1/2 inches long and 3 1/2 inches tall.

I hope you will enjoy making this little fella.

Blessings!

To make the mane and tail cut lengths of yarn about 5 inches long, several strands of colors of choice. Separate plies of ea. strand to make 4 strands of each. This is what gives the mane and tail it’s fluffy look. Loop 4 seperated strands together into a stitch on the back of the head, repeating from top of head to back of unicorn. Trim mane if desired.

Do the same separating for the tail, but loop all tail strands together through one stitch at the backside of the unicorn. Trim if desired.
