Sew unicorn together

Using the main color yarn & your yarn needle sew head to body. Sew legs on body. Sew horn to head (1 – 2 rows above eyes & centered between eyes). Sew ears to head. When sewing on the legs, ears & horn, start inside these pieces so your knot is concealed. I like to start by piercing the tie off knot to secure the stitch. You can use the same piece of yarn to attach the ears & horn by going under the head. You can use the same piece of yarn for all four legs by going under the body. Tuck any ends into the unicorn. Be sure to tie everything off tightly & double knot to start and finish. Trim if desired.

  

Main & Tail using contrast color

• Main: cut 40+ seven inch pieces of yarn. Fold a piece of yarn in half & with your crochet hook, slip stich individual pieces to head and neck as desired. Pull each piece taught when done.

• Tail: cut 8 ten inch pieces of yarn. Fold all pieces in half together & with your crochet hook, slip stich all together in center of unicorn’s rear. Pull each piece taught individually. Trim if desired.
