Hello Everyone! Today I would like to show you my new pattern for pastel unicorn. From my observations, the amigurumi unicorn is one of the most crocheted patterns. And for good reason! The colorful mane, the golden horn, the rainbow colors! All this makes the unicorn one of the favorite creatures. Therefore, there was nothing left for me but to try my hand at designing this fairy creature. And how did it turn out? See for yourself below 😊
