Mane

Cut 6-inch strands of pale blue and lavender yarn. You’ll need about 20-30 strands total, alternating colors. Fold each strand in half. Using a crochet hook, pull the folded end through a stitch along the back of the head and neck (from the top of the head down to the base of the neck). Then pull the loose ends through the loop and tighten. Repeat, spacing strands about 1/4 inch apart, covering the back of the head and neck. Trim to desired length (about 3-4 inches long).

Tail

Cut 8-inch strands of pale blue and lavender yarn (about 15-20 strands). Attach to the back of the body (at the bottom, opposite the head) using the same method as the mane. Trim to desired length (about 4-5 inches long).

Assembly

Use the yarn tails and a yarn needle to sew pieces together.

• Sew head to body: Align the head on top of the body (the opening of the head should match the opening of the body). Whipstitch around the edge, securing firmly. Weave in ends.
• Sew legs to body: Position two legs at the front (slightly forward) and two at the back (slightly back), about 1 inch apart. Sew each leg securely to the bottom of the body. Weave in ends.
• Sew horn to top of head: Center the horn on top of the head (between the ears). Sew around the base of the horn. Weave in ends.
• Sew ears to sides of head: Position each ear just behind the horn (about 1/2 inch from the horn). Sew the base of the ear to the head. Weave in ends.
• Embroider eyes: Using black yarn, make two small French knots or satin stitches for eyes, placed about 1 inch apart on the face (centered between the ears and the nose area).
• Embroider smile: Using pink yarn, make a small curved line (satin stitch or backstitch) for a smile, centered below the eyes.
• Add blush (optional): Using pink yarn, make a small circle of satin stitches on each cheek (just below and to the sides of the eyes) for rosy cheeks.
