Teacup Unicorn

What could be cuter than a unicorn? The smallest of the unicorn breeds, a teacup unicorn! A very quick and satisfying knit results in a stuffed toy that’s just around palm size. It can be played with, used as a keychain or an ornament, and fitted comfortably in a pocket. This pattern is perfect for stash busting. Experiment with the colors of the mane and tail, use speckled or sparkling yarn for the body, and create your very own blessing of unicorns (yes, that’s a real name for a unicorn flock!) ♡

Yarn: DK or worsted weight held single, OR fingering weight held double (body: 25yds / 23m). Any other yarn weight could be used as well. The body of the unicorn is knit flat in one piece. Ears and horn are knit separately and seamed to the head. The mane and the tail are attached with a crochet hook. This unicorn has only two legs. The pattern includes short notes on how to use it to knit a horse, a zebra, or a donkey.
