About This Phone Stand Horse Unicorn Amigurumi Pattern
This charming phone stand pattern creates a functional and decorative piece that will hold your mobile device while adding personality to your space. The horse version features a classic brown and tan color scheme with a flowing mane, while the unicorn variant includes a magical rainbow tail and horn. Both versions include optional pockets for storing small items like earbuds or charging cables. The sturdy construction ensures your phone stays secure while the weighted base prevents tipping.
The pattern uses basic amigurumi techniques with some intermediate color changes and construction methods. Clear step-by-step instructions guide you through creating each component before assembling the final piece.
Why You'll Love This Phone Stand Horse Unicorn Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love how this pattern combines functionality with charm - it's not just a decoration, it's a practical piece that makes everyday life a little more delightful! The satisfaction of creating something both beautiful and useful is incredibly rewarding, and watching your phone rest securely in your handmade creation brings such joy. The optional customization with pockets and the choice between horse or unicorn means you can make it uniquely yours.
Switch Things Up
I love experimenting with different color combinations for this pattern - imagine a galaxy unicorn with deep purples and blues, or a pastel horse in soft pinks and creams! You could also add small embroidered details like stars on the unicorn or flowers on the horse's mane for extra personality. For tech lovers, consider adding a small crocheted cord holder or even a tiny pocket specifically sized for earbuds.
The beauty of this pattern is how customizable it becomes once you understand the basic construction. I've seen makers create seasonal versions - autumn horses with orange and brown tones, or winter unicorns with icy blue and silver accents. The mane offers endless possibilities for color play, and you could even use textured yarns for different effects.
Don't be afraid to adjust the size slightly if you have a particularly large tablet or smaller phone - the pattern is quite forgiving for minor modifications. The key is maintaining that stable base while adapting the upper portion to your device's needs.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Not stuffing the base firmly enough causing the phone stand to tip over easily
✗ Forgetting to add heavy filling to the bottom which is essential for stability
✗ Skipping the back loop instructions which creates important structural elements and texture changes
✗ Attaching body parts in wrong positions making the phone slot too small or large
