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?

Worsted weight yarn:
30 yards MC (white or rainbow)
10 yards CC (gold or rainbow)
Size G (4.0 mm) crochet hook
Ribbon

It’s unofficial Platypus celebration day at Ruth Haydock Designs. Pam the Playtpus loves sunny days and blue skys. She also loves to swim in calm rivers and won’t touch the sea.
Pam is a really quick crochet pattern made with small amounts of yarn. As she’s Australian, her blue top is actually a “rashie,” a rashie is a top for sun protection so she can continue to spend lots of time outdoors. Isn’t she adorable!
