Unicorn Pillow Friend Crochet Pattern

This sweet Unicorn Pillow Friend Crochet Pattern is the perfect huggable size and looks so pretty sitting on a bed or shelf. It’s a great amigurumi beginner project! I am not an experienced amigurumi maker, and this unicorn was very doable for me. It’s just 2 rectangles to make the pillow with the additions added!

RECTANGLES

In Pink ch 41

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from the hook and across (40 sc)

Row 2 – 50: ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch actoss (40 sc)

Fasten off, weave in the ends.

Repeat pattern in ivory, do not fasten off.

Pull hook out of last stitch, but do not cut off

I stitched on the eyes before I sewed the pieces together

To make the eyes I used a surface slip stitch

Insert hook from front to back where you want the eyes to be, grab black yarn, pull through the stitch, insert hook again along where you want the eyes to be and pull up a loop, work a slip stitch. Continue along the eye line. Then do the same for the eyelashes.

Fasten off, weave in the ends.

Insert hook back into last stitch of the ivory side of the pillow, put both sides together and sew them together with a sc, working 3 sc in each corner

Begin to add stuffing once you get back to the top side. Continue adding stuffing as you sew the top closed, join to the first sc with sl st.

Fasten off, weave in the ends.
