Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this Sweet Unicorn pattern to create completely unique versions every time I make one. Sometimes I swap the white main color for a soft pastel pink or lavender to give the unicorn a dreamy, ethereal quality that's absolutely stunning. I've even tried using sparkly metallic yarn for the horn instead of the mustard yellow, which adds such a magical shimmer that catches the light beautifully.

For a more modern look, I occasionally create an ombre effect in the mane by using gradient colors that flow from one shade to another, starting with deep purples and transitioning through pinks to light yellows. You could also experiment with the flower placement, adding more flowers throughout the mane or even creating a flower crown effect around the base of the horn.

I've made holiday versions too, using red and green hair strands for Christmas unicorns, or orange and black for Halloween-themed ones. Another fun variation I love is adding small beads or sequins to the flowers for extra sparkle, though I only do this for unicorns intended for older children or adults. The body spots shown in the pattern can be made in any color to match your mane colors, or you could skip them entirely for a solid white unicorn with just the colorful accents.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not using stitch markers when working in continuous rounds, which can cause you to lose track of your starting point and create uneven shaping throughout the body and head pieces ✗ Stuffing the body and head too loosely or too firmly, resulting in either a floppy unicorn that won't hold its shape or an overly stiff one that loses its cuddly appeal ✗ Failing to count stitches carefully during decrease rounds, especially on the head where precise shaping creates the proper rounded form and facial structure for your unicorn ✗ Sewing the ears, arms, and legs without pinning them first to check placement, which can lead to asymmetrical attachment and an unbalanced final appearance ✗ Not leaving long enough yarn tails when finishing off pieces, making it difficult to securely sew parts together and potentially causing pieces to come loose over time

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the arms to the sides of the body at round 34, ensuring they are positioned symmetrically on both sides for a balanced appearance.
  • Attach the legs together first by sewing between rings 1-5, then sew the assembled legs to the bottom of the body for proper posture.
  • Position and sew the ears to the sides of the head with 10 sc spacing between them at approximately round 27 for proper ear placement.
  • Carefully sew the horn between the two ears at the top of the head, making sure it's centered and standing upright.
  • Attach the colorful hair strands (12 pieces) to the back of the head, spreading them evenly to create a flowing mane effect.
  • Sew the queue tail pieces (6 pieces) to the back of the body where desired for the unicorn's tail.
  • Position and sew the three decorative flowers in front of the horn on the head, arranging them in an aesthetically pleasing cluster.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers consistently throughout the pattern to track your rounds, especially during the head and body construction where maintaining proper stitch count is crucial
  • 💡Stuff the body and head firmly but gradually as you work, ensuring even distribution to maintain the proper rounded shape without creating lumps
  • 💡When working the hair strands, make sure to crochet into the chains loosely to create natural-looking curls and waves in the mane
  • 💡Pin all parts in their intended positions before sewing to check symmetry and overall appearance, making adjustments as needed before permanent attachment
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails when finishing each piece (at least 12 inches) to make sewing easier and ensure secure attachments
  • 💡Work with consistent tension throughout the pattern to ensure all pieces are uniform in size and the finished unicorn has a professional appearance
  • 💡When attaching the horn, stuff it very tightly so it stands upright and maintains its shape rather than flopping over

FAQs

What size will my finished Sweet Unicorn be?

The finished Sweet Unicorn measures approximately 20cm in circumference and about 10cm in length when made with the recommended 2.5mm hook and appropriate weight yarn. The size may vary slightly depending on your tension and the specific yarn you choose.

Can I use different colors for the hair strands and flowers?

Absolutely! The pattern suggests blue, green, dark pink, light pink, and orange, but you can customize the hair strands and flowers with any colors you prefer. This is a great opportunity to use up yarn scraps and create a truly unique unicorn that reflects your personal style.

How do I make the hair strands curly?

The curly effect in the hair strands comes from crocheting into the chain stitches. The pattern calls for making 30 chains and then crocheting 80 stitches into them, which creates the natural curl. Work loosely for better curl definition.

Do I need to use safety eyes or can I embroider the face?

The pattern shows a closed-eye sleeping expression that can be embroidered with black thread. You can use simple straight stitches to create the closed eyes and add any additional facial features you desire. This makes the unicorn safe for young children.

What's the best way to attach all the hair strands and flowers?

Pin everything in place first to visualize the final look and ensure even spacing. For the hair strands, distribute all 12 pieces evenly across the back of the head. Sew them securely using the long yarn tails left from finishing each piece. The flowers can be clustered together near the horn for a cohesive look.

Can I make the unicorn larger or smaller?

Yes! To make it larger, use a thicker yarn with an appropriately sized hook (3.5mm or 4mm). For a smaller version, try thread weight yarn with a 1.5mm hook. Keep in mind that changing the size will also affect the time needed to complete the project.
