Today is National Stress Awareness Day. We all have stress in our lives to some degree, some more than others. Maybe there’s a new baby in the house. Could be you’re dreading the holidays, either because of a lack of funds or you don’t want the family drama. Maybe your relationship with your significant other isn’t going too well right now. The economy isn’t in the best place right now, and the elections take a toll on some people’s well being.
Crocheters know that our craft provides an excellent stress relief, as does knitting, painting, weaving, or any other craft. It keeps our hands and minds occupied on creating beauty rather than worrying about our troubles. I have always joked that crocheting is much cheaper than a therapist and more productive.
Even so, sometimes our hands need a break from the repetitive motions, so today I have several coloring pages for you to enjoy.

Remember how special you felt as a child when someone gave out candy in those little white Halloween bags? I have created a PDF that you can download to make those bags at home and fill with candy.

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.
