Use thread the same color as the muzzle (in my case, pink) to create indentations for the nostrils. 

Insert and bring out the thread from the bottom, as if from inside the unicorn’s mouth. 

You can optionally shade the nostrils with dry pastel or any other method of your choice. 

The eyes can be made in any way that works for you: 

attach safety eyes, glue them on, embroider, or paint them. 

It all depends on who or what the finished toy is for. 

Eyelashes can also be glued on or embroidered.

Star: – Amigurumi Unicorn

10 sc in MR, pull tight. Ch 5, from second ch from hook: 1 sc, 2 dc, skip 2 sc on MR and join the ray to MR with sl st. Make 5 rays. 

Flowers: – Amigurumi Unicorn

Crochet according to the diagram below. You can adjust the size of the flower by adding repeats. 

I made 9 petals. Fold and secure the flower by sewing through it several times. 

Sew the flowers to the ribbon or directly to the head. 

Tail: – Amigurumi Unicorn

Chain 70, turn your work, and crochet 2 dc into each chain stitch along the foundation chain. 

To make a more tightly curled spiral, crochet 3 dc into each stitch instead of 2. 

Make 3 spirals in different colors. 

You can vary the length and thickness of the spirals. 

For example, make the yellow spirals 75 chains long, and the pink ones 80 chains long, using double treble crochet (trtr) instead of dc. 

Mane: – Amigurumi Unicorn

Chain 60 and follow the same pattern as the tail. 

You can also adjust the length and thickness here. 

There should be a gap of at least 5 rounds between the horn and the mane. 

You may also leave small gaps between each colored “layer” (see photo). Keep this in mind when sewing. 

Alternative Mane and Tail: 

Instead of crocheted spirals, you can make the tail and mane out of yarn and then brush it out. This will make it look more like real hair. 

Cut yarn to your desired length, fold it in half, and attach it to the body using a loop method. 

Mix yarn colors for a more vibrant result. After shaping the mane and tail, brush the yarn with a comb. 

You can wrap the horn several times with sparkly yarn for a glittery effect.
