For the unicorn pattern, are the arms able to move up and down or is it just stiff.
Yes, you can move the arms up and down.
What is the size of the finished item, and what size hook are you suggesting?
The size of finished unicorn is about 35-40 cm. Suggested hook size is 2.5-3.0 mm.
I am not familiar with amigurumi crochet. Are these ‘creatures’ stuffed with fiberfill?
Yes, you’re absolutely right! 🙂
How tall is it and what hook size for the unicon?
The unicorn is about 33 cm tall with horn. Made with 2.0 mm crochet hook.
For the mane did you just go through one stitch? Or did you do more stitches for the mane? And how much of each color did you use?
Hi Kari, please watch a video-tutorial on how to attach hair (starting from 48:05) https://youtu.be/ZEp8T41zNtg?t=48m7s
I’m not familiar with the term “magic ring” although I have been crocheting for many years. Is this a series of chain stitches? if so how many?
Hi Renate, you can find the instructions here https://amigurumi.today/basic-crochet-stitches-tutorial/
It was very helpful because my friend is a unicorn enthusiast. She absolutely loved it and I am so thankful that you made this pattern. Thanks!
Thank you, Malaine 🌹💕
I’m a bit confused about starting the body after crocheting the legs. The legs plus the chain 3 in-between to join them all equals 39 stitches. To start the body, (rnd 1) you say to sc in the next 42 st. (but there’s only 39?) Am I missing something?
Hi Paige, here is the description of Rnd 1 of the body: crochet sc in next 18 st of the first leg, sc in next 3 ch, sc in next 18 st of the second leg, sc in next 3 ch (opposite side) = 42 st
I’m having so much fun with this pattern! Thank you for sharing it. 🙂 For the torso of this unicorn, are we starting it as it’s own individual body part to sew on later or are we crocheting it up from the legs? (I’m a little lost on Round 1 on the Body.)
The body is crocheted up from the legs 🙂
Do you use a stich marker or do you join?
Hi Brandie 🙂 It’s better to use a stitch marker 🙂
Hello i am up to round 2 of the body where it states to inc 6 times into the belly. Does this mean to inc 6 times into the first stitch?
I would appreciate a little help. Slightly confused. I want to do this amazing pattern justice
Hi Honey, it means to make inc in each of the next 6 st on the belly 🙂
