Unicorn Butt Ornament Crochet Pattern

unicorn butt ornament

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?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn:

30 yards MC (white or rainbow)

10 yards CC (gold or rainbow)

Size G (4.0 mm) crochet hook

Ribbon

Gauge: 9 sc = 2″, 9 rows = 2″

Directions:

Rnd 1: With MC yarn, ch 2 (or magic ring), 10 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Do not join. Work in continuous rnds throughout.

Rnd 2: *Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st,* repeat around (15 sc).

Rnd 3: *Sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st,* repeat around (20 sc).

Rnd 4: *Sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st,* repeat around (25 sc).

Rnds 5-11: Sc in each st.

Rnd 12: *Dec over next 2 sts, sc in next 3 sts,* repeat around (20 sc).

Rnds 13-14: Sc in each st.

Rnd 15: *Dec over next 2 sts, sc in next 3 sts,* repeat around (16 sc).

Rnds 16-18: Sc in each st. Join with sl st at end of Rnd 18. Fasten off MC.

Rnd 19: Join CC, sc in each st.

Rnd 20: Sc in each st.

Rnd 21: Lay flat and sc through both sides. 2 sc in first st, sc across, 2 sc in last st (10 sc).

Use CC yarn to embroider line between legs from bottom up to Rnd 12.

Tail:

Cut 6 pieces of yarn 8” long (10” for braid, 12” for curly tail) and fold in half. Insert hook into top center of Rnd 1. Pull yarn through st, then pull ends of yarn through center lp. Pull tight.

Add a bow to the tail for decoration.

Cut a piece of ribbon approximately 12” long and fold. Pull through top of unicorn butt and tie off for hanger.

Weave in all ends.

National Tell a Fairy Tale Day

fairy tales

When I was a little girl, Saturday nights at our home were story time. We would take turns picking our favorite stories, and my dad would read them to us. We had a bookshelf in the living room with collections of stories from various authors. My favorite story (and the one I always picked) was a Grimm tale called One Eye, Two Eye, Three Eye. The story was similar to Cinderella in that One Eye and Three Eye were the mean sisters who treated Two Eye badly. They considered themselves special because one had one eye in the center of her forehead, and the other had a third eye in the center of her forehead. They considered Two Eye common, like other folk, and had no use for her. One day an old woman came to Two Eye when she was crying with hunger and told her how to get her goat to lay out a table of food for her.  I won’t spoil the rest of the story for you, but you can read it here: https://www.grimmstories.com/en/grimm_fairy-tales/one_eye_two_eyes_and_three_eyes#:~:text=There%20was%20once%20a%20woman%20who%20had%20three,was%20also%20in%20the%20centre%20of%20her%20forehead.

Many of the best fairy tales feature a witch – Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel & Gretel, Rapunzel, and many more. If your little one is partial to the witch in the story, this is a great doll to make for them.Topsy-Turvy Witch Doll Crochet Pattern

Of course, another favorite fairy tale character is the Unicorn.

Your little one can be a unicorn when you crochet this adorable hoodie,

complete with “hooves” that serve as mittens attached to the sleeves.
