Teacup Unicorn

What could be cuter than a unicorn? Introducing the adorable teacup unicorn, the smallest of all unicorn breeds! This delightful knitting pattern allows you to create a charming stuffed toy that’s just around palm size. Perfect for cuddling, playing with, or using as a whimsical keychain or ornament, this petite unicorn can easily fit into your pocket or your heart. Plus, it’s an excellent choice for stash busting your yarn collection! With just a quick and satisfying knit, you can experiment with various colors for the mane and tail, and even craft a sparkling or speckled body to make your very own unique piece. Gather your yarns and create a whole “blessing of unicorns” (yes, that’s the official term for a group of unicorns!).

For this enchanting project, you’ll need DK or worsted weight yarn held single, or fingering weight yarn held double (approximately 25 yards / 23 meters for the body). However, feel free to unleash your creativity by using any yarn weight you desire! The body of the unicorn is knit flat in one seamless piece for simplicity. Both the ears and horn are knitted separately and then expertly seamed to the head, giving your teacup unicorn its signature look. The charming mane and tail are attached using a crochet hook, adding extra flair. Notably, this unicorn design features only two legs, making it easy to assemble.

This knitting pattern also includes short notes on how to adapt it into a horse, zebra, or donkey, allowing you to expand your collection of adorable knitted companions. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking for a fun project, this teacup unicorn pattern is the perfect way to spread joy and unleash your imagination.
