Who doesn’t like unicorns? 🦄🦄🦄 Every girl dreams of her own unicorn 😍 Discover this amazing crochet unicorn free pattern and bring some magic into your home 😊🌈🌈🌈
If you will use listed DK yarn and 2.5mm hook you will get height of the finished crochet unicorn approximately 42cm from top of the horn to the bottom. Admittedly, it’s not small crochet unicorn and it’s definitely worth of your attention 😮
For this project as main colour I used creamy Patons Fab DK yarn as I found this colour doesn’t get dirty so quick as white, but certainly it can be made in white or any other colours.
This pattern will be split in two parts to make it easier to read and load the page. In this part we are going to make body, arms and heart, in the second will be head and assembly. You can find second part for this pattern in here – crochet unicorn free pattern head and assembly.
