Twinkle Toes the Unicorn Crochet Pattern

Slip Stitch

Insert hook in next st, yo and draw through all loops.

Single Crochet

Insert hook in next st and draw up a loop (two loops on hook), yo, draw through both loops
on hook.

Single Crochet Decrease [ 2-sc dec ]

Insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, (two loops on hook), insert hook in next stitch,
draw up a loop (three loops on hook), yo and draw through all three loops.

Single crochet Invisible Decrease [ 2-sc inv dec]

Please note that when making the invisible decrease you will be working in the front loops
only of your two stitches.

Insert your hook into the front loop only of the first stitch. Do not yarn over and pull up yarn
as you would in a traditional decrease. Insert your hook into the front loop only of the next
stitch. You will need to turn the tip of your crochet hook downward to do this. Then swing
your crochet hook up, and under the front loop of the 2nd stitch. You now have three loops on
your hook. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the first 2 loops on your crochet hook,
leaving two loops on your hook. Then yarn over again and pull yarn through the last two loops
on your crochet hook.

Changing Colour

Insert the hook in next stitch and draw up loop (2 loops on hook). Drop the first colour, yo
with new colour and draw through 2 loops on hook. Continue with the new colour. When
working stripes keep each colour attached until you need it again then just pick up the
dropped colour and continue.

Magic adjustable ring

First make a loop with your yarn leaving three inch long tail. Insert hook in centre of loop made, yo
and draw up loop. YO, pull through to make your first chain. (Do not count this as your first
sc) Continue to crochet over the loop and the yarn tail until you have the required number
of scs for your first round. For example, if the pattern calls for six scs, then sc six times into
the ring. (Insert hook into the center of the ring and draw up loop, YO and draw through
both loops.)

When you're finished, pull the tail to close the ring.

Always move your stitch marker up at the end of each row as you will be working in
continuous rounds.

Stitch count is in ( ) at the end of each row.

Sl st to finish off leaving a long tail. Don't stuff the ears flatten them.

1. 4sc in the magic circle, tighten the loop ( you may want to wait to place the marker until the beginning of round 3 as it's quite tight)

2. [ sc in each st ] (4)

3. [ sc x 1, 2-sc inc ] rep (6)

4. [ sc in each st ] (6)

5. [ sc x 1, 2-sc inc ] rep (9)

8. [ sc x 1, 2-sc inc ] rep *sc in the last st* (13)

9 – 10. [ sc in each st ] (13)

Sl st to finish off leaving a long tail. Stuff the horn, use the end of your hook to get the stuffing right up to the point. Pin the ears in place approx. Four rows behind the eyes and sew in place. Pin the horn to the middle of the head and sew in place.

To make a spiral of yarn around the horn, take a length of yarn (in your contrasting colour) around 30 inches long. Put your needle into the top of the head a few rows behind the horn and bring it out 1 row up in the horn as in picture one below. Leave a tail of yarn hanging out and hold this in place with your finger, now tightly wrap the yarn around the horn, it should naturally follow the rows of stitches. (pic two).

When you get to the top (this is the tricky part) keeping the yarn tightly wrapped onto the horn put your needle into the top of the horn (the very middle stitch may be too tight, so one just below will be fine) and bring it out through the horn and back to where your tail of yarn is hanging out. Making sure the yarn is all still tightly wrapped around the horn make a double knot then hide the yarn tails inside the head and cut.

Stuff now adding a little at a time until quite firm, you can add more as you continue to decrease to close the body

Sl st into the next st to finish off leaving a long tail. Stuff the arms in just the hooves. Sew the arms to the sides of the body. Make the tail in the same way as the hair but leave the strands longer and use 2 strands together to make the tail thicker. You should make 2 or 3 knotted hair strands very close together.
