The Unicorn

A horse or a unicorn? Both please! IMPORTANT! Please, read the entire description before making a purchase. The head and the body of the horse/unicorn are worked in one piece, in rounds, with single crochet stitch. The tail is attached as you go. The ears are worked flat, in turning rows, with slip stitches worked in front loops only, and are shaped with short rows. This provides a reversible and thin yet dense fabric. The finished toy is about 11cm / 4.3 in long if made with sport weight yarn and 2.5mm hook. The horn is made with a fingering weight yarn and a smaller (2mm) hook. If you want a larger toy, you may try to work with a thicker yarn and a larger hook. Please, keep in mind that yarn meterage/yardage and the amount of fiberfill will increase. Required skills include chain, single crochet, and slip stitches, working in rounds and in turning rows, identifying front loop of the stitch, identifying a turning chain, increasing and decreasing with a single crochet stitch, and working around the chain with single crochet stitches. - 8 pages PDF file - text instructions accompanied by 48 photos of the toy making process - written in English using US crochet terms - requires careful stitch counting, working increases and decreases and starting a new round exactly as instructed in the pattern
