Unicorn Butt Ornament Crochet Pattern

The response to the Horse Butt Ornament has been overwhelming! I just couldn’t resist turning them into unicorns, so I got out my scrap basket and played around with colors to use the same pattern to create a Unicorn Butt Ornament. Using white or rainbow yarn as the MC and adding different kinds of tails will allow you to create so many different unicorns for your Christmas tree. Instead of a boring bow, how about a unicorn to decorate your Christmas gifts?
