Introducing the sparkly Unicorn! Knitted from glittery dk yarn and the perfect size for cuddling, he’s knitted flat on 3mm straight knitting needles (so no knitting in the round needed)

You can use any white and pink Double Knitting yarn
to make the unicorn- I used half a ball of King Cole Glitz Dk in Diamond White (483) and just under half a ball of Wendy Peter Pan Dk in Blossom (PD05) (so you should be able to make two unicorns if you have a ball of each yarn) You’ll need to know how to knit, purl and increase and decrease to make this little guy and his flower crown.

You’ll also need very small amounts of blue, yellow and grey Double Knitting yarn for knitting the horn, bow tie and flowers, plus a darning needle, toy stuffing, a bit of black dk yarn for the nostrils and a pair of 6mm black safety eyes with click-on backs (or you can embroider the eyes instead)

The Pattern Includes:

  • 12 pages of detailed instruction on how to knit, make up and decorate your unicorn

  • Plenty of pictures to help you on your way
