How to Crochet an Amigurumi Unicorn
The final week of Amigurumi April is here and this weeks fantastic project was designed by @beardieandblondiecrafts.
This cute little unicorn absolutely loves sweet treats, but who can blame her, don't we all? This Unicorn has taken her love to the next level, by baking herself the biggest donut we have ever seen! After all the love and care she put into her baking, she just couldn't bear to eat it, so she now proudly displays her work for all to see! Learn to crochet your very own unicorn using the amigurumi technique. Optionally, you may use fewer colours for her tail and mane, or more, customise the perfect unicorn.
