Toy Assembly

  • Sew the muzzle on: at the bottom, place it right against the neck; at the top, place it right against the eyes.
  • Sew on the nostrils (I simply make double knots with YarnArt Jeans).
  • Sew on the horn.
  • Sew on the ears.
  • Sew on the arms, with the sewing line running along the body.
  • Sculpt the muzzle:
    • Insert a threaded needle at the bottom center of the muzzle and bring it out under the eye along the muzzle sewing line.
    • Move over by one stitch, insert the needle, and bring it back out at the starting point.
    • Pull tight and knot.
    • Repeat for the second eye (use the same starting point).
    • Cut the thread and hide it inside the head.

Mane

Cut Alize Softy into 25 cm pieces. If your Unicorn is made with a different yarn, the length may vary. Each piece will be folded in half and attached to the head. I have three different colors. Attach them to the head with a crochet hook. Make the mane as full as you like.

Tail

Cut Alize Softy into 15-17 cm pieces. Tie them firmly in the middle with strong thread and attach them to the body.
