Mane and tail:
For the mane: make 4 ringlets (#1, #2, #3, #4) in 3 colors. You will get 12 ringlets in total.
I’m loving this pattern but I am having real trouble with the mane – is there a video tutorial for the correct way to do this mane as. I have found a couple of tutorials on youtube which are both very different and I want mine too look exactly the same as the pattern 😁 any help would be appreciated (it doesn’t seem to be well explained in the pattern) as I am a novice crocheter.
I’m in the process of making this beautiful unicorn but I am stuck on how to make the circle on the head for the start of the body and was wondering if someone could help me (email [email protected] )
Thanks for the pattern! Trying this out for my niece as a Christmas gift. Would be awesome if there was a video tutorial for novice crocheters to see!
Can I sell the Unicorns that i make from this pattern? Thanks.
Hi Jocelyn 🙂 You are more than welcome to sell finished crochet toys made with the help of our patterns, giving a credit to our website, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂
Hello, I absolutely love this pattern. Its absolutely adorable, I adjusted the hair to curl better. Plus I added bows and rhinestones. My niece loves it. Thank you so much for this pattern.
Thank you! 🌹💖
Hi Brittanie (or Amigurumi Today),
How exactly did you adjusted the hair to curl better? Can you tell me please?
Thanks!,
Mo
I’m so confused by the construction of the mane! I think I’m just reading it wrong. How do to get 12 ringlets? Love this pattern though….
Hey, I have the same question as ANITA about joining the mane strings together, but I haven’t figured it out. How do I chain the mane strands together with 3 chains?
Hello,
It is my first time with an amigurumi like this, and I don’t know how to croche the body in the head. Does anyone know how I can learn? Maybe a youtube video… I love this pattern, and I’d like very much to do it for my niece.
Thank you in advance.
(my email is [email protected], if anyone would like to help me :))
Hi I’m just wondering if you found out how to crochet the body to the head as I am in the process of this and I’m also self taught
Yo hice el cuerpo separado, hice un círculo de 24sc. Ej: 1rnd: anillo mágico y dentro 6sc(6)
2rnd: aumento en todos los puntos (12)
3rnd: (Sc, aumento)* 6 veces (18)
4rnd: (2Sc, aumento)*6 veces (24)
A partir de ahí continuo tal cual es el patrón desde la 1rnd.
Solo debes unir despues
bonjour, je trouve votre modèle magnifique. j’aimerai le réaliser, mais je n’arrive pas à le traduire en français. pouvez vous m’aider ? merci

Hi 🙂 Please have a look at this chart http://elfinthread.com/conversion-charts/crochet-terms-conversion-chart-american-english-french/
Hey
I’m trying to make the unicorn but I can’t figure out how to make the mane
Do you guys know if the are a video tutorial or something about how I make 1 turning Chand so that th mane starts to curle?
Hi can we sell finished products online? Like stores like Etsy?
Thank you! I love this pattern so much!

Thank you for sharing your pattern and for the good photos explaining how to make the Unicorn. I have made 5 so far 😀
You’re great! Thanks! 🙂
Hello! This is ADORABLE! I am interested in making this. I saw the yarn brand, can you share the colors used?
Thank you!
Please ignore my question. I”ve got it now. 3SC for 3 pcs of mane together. Thank you.
I have a question on the mane please. Do I use 1SC for each piece of mane? Because the picture show 3 pieces of mane on the hook. Which then made me think do i just join the 3 pcs with 1SC but that wouldn’t me the 12 SC in the next part.
Sorry if this is a silly question. Thank you for the help.
I love the pattern its so cute.
Thank you.
No sure if you’ll see this, but how big is this unicorn? A rough estimate would be ok 🙂
Everything depends on your yarn and hook 🙂
Can this be made using DK and a 4mm hook? Obviously it would be bigger but would it turn out huge?
I absolutely love your pattern. The unicorn especially
Hi,
I finished this for a friends granddaughter. It was a hit! My own granddaughter cuddled it and loved on it. The pattern works up beautifully. I’m working on 2 more. One for my granddaughter and one to add to my daughter’s menagerie of Unicorns.
Thank you! 🙂 So happy! 🙂
Hi,
Am currently making this awesome Unicorn, I’m finding when I decrease the rounds to close up the head for example that my stitches “gape” a lot and therefore it doesn’t look as nice as the rest of the piece. Any advice/tips to stop this from happening.
You can use the hook of smaller size to avoid gaps.
try the Secret decrease stitch.. instead of grabbing the full stitch( Both loops) only grab the front loops of the stitches. This seems to work for mine. Also keep your tension really tight. 🙂
onto my 3rd Unicorn .. have had no trouble with pattern … every1 loves it
Hola soy Isabel el payron lo veo bien pero a la hora de los tirabuzones como es que nos slen 12 es por que hay que hacer tres de cada color? Es lo que me imagino y gracias por todo 😘
Very nicely written. Just made mine and it turned out so adorable!! Thank you so much for this pattern. Will definitely be trying more from this site!
I made 2 changes to add extra color. I started the head with the colored yarn and switched to white after the 13th row. I also made the horn in the same color. Made the unicorn look extra cute 🙂
Gracias por compartir este patrón , además de adorable está muy bien explicado, lo voy a intentar y les platico como me fué!😍❤❤❤❤❤
I finished my second in unicorn in rainbows. I used four different “kinds/colors” of rainbows. I wish I could share it with you. They are adorable. Thanks for the pattern.
I didn’t have any problem with the pattern. I start my magic circle with a bit longer tail and use the longer tail as the marker for the beginning of the row. I pull it out of the last row and move it to the next row. I also have a pencil handy to tick off which row I have completed. When there is a clump of rows, I write out the numbers and tick off each number as I complete it. If I make it again, I can erase and re-tick.
Thanks again.
Just finished this adorable baby unicorn! I found the pattern to be very easy to follow and as with most amigurumi patterns I found that crocheting continuous rounds is much more simple than chaining up each round. I used stich markers to mark the beginning of each round and I often use a stitch marker to mark where I increased or decreased to make it easier in case I lost track.
Love my baby unicorn! ❤️
Thank you, Jenny! 🌹💖
It’s a really cute baby unicorn, I did all the patterns correctly, but i don’t know how to sew the legs and the arms nicely, please help!!
Thank you for the patterns.
Hi, I nearly finished this over the weekend and I have to agree with other commenters about how the pattern is well-written and easy to follow. 🙂 It incorporated a couple of techniques that were new to me and I appreciated the chance to learn different ways of constructing the Amigurumi. I’ll post a pic and link to you on Ravelry when I’m finally finished.
More pics for the placement of the appendages could be nice. The pattern has totally worked out for me. I use the beginning tail as a place marker on each piece. Just flip the tail up to the next round. I have actually sent your website to my customers to let them pick from your patterns. And as another I have had trouble buying the PDFs. Or i would have bought back bunch by now. I love your stuff!
Hi! Do you have video tutorial for this? Thanks 🙏🏻
I absolutely love your patterns I have made a few now, they are so easy to follow and turn out lovely. Just finishing this unicorn and just wondering the mane do you attach #1 at the top or #4 can’t figure out which way it goes. Thank you for your great patterns
I want to buy this… Is there anyone who sale this hand made baby unicorn..?
I do!
I have a question about all of the rounds on the body. The numbers seem to be off, or maybe I’m off. Round three only makes 26 stitches and it is off from there. Please let me know. Very confusing. Jenniferm
Hi Jennifer 🙂 What do you mean? I double-checked the pattern, it is correct.
Hi just wondering if you can you do marval super hero’s like Spider-Man and bat man

Hi I’ve tried to make unicorn but it just keeps going wrong. Is this done just going around and around…. do i need a stitch marker ? I really would like to make this for my granddaughter as she keeps asking for one. Any tips will be gratefully received xxxx
Hi Tracey 🙂 Yes, it was crocheted in continuous rounds with the help of stitch marker.
This is a great pattern with wonderful instruction of putting it all together!!!! Wish the sleeping unicorn pony had the instructions of putting it together! All I’m all I love all your patterns!

Thank you, Leontina! 🙂
Are we allowed to sell finished products?
Hi Sandra 🙂 Yes (giving a credit to our website), but mass production is forbidden.
I am creating an amazing unicorn from this! Unfortunately i think some of the calculations of how many stitches are in the body are incorrect according to how many increases there are, therefore making it a bit difficult to follow. But i love this pattern!
Hi Lana, the pattern was tested. Which round do you mean?
I’ve had no trouble and the counts all seem to work.
I thought the same thing for example in the leg there’s a line that the count is 4 dec 8 dec and 4 and that’s supposed to be 18 stitches.
4dc, dec=1dc. total 5.
8dc, dec==1dc.total 9.
4dc, total4.
5+9+4 =18.
