With accent color (I used purple), attach yarn and SC around the entire bottom edge of the hat (including earflaps). Fasten off and weave in ends. Cut 6 long strands of the same color yarn, pull yarn halfway through last loop of the earflaps (you now have 12 strands). Knot, braid and knot again at the end of your braid. Trim ends of braided tails so yarn is even. Do this for both earflaps.

Unicorn Horn:

Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 4 SC inside ring, do not join, continue to SC in rounds. Use a stitch marker if needed.

Round 2: SC in each stitch around (4 SC)

Round 3: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (6 SC)

Round 4: SC in each stitch around (6 SC)

Round 5: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around (8 SC)

Round 6: SC in each stitch around (8 SC)

Round 7: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 3, repeat around (10 SC)

Round 8: SC in each stitch around (10 SC)

Round 9: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 4, repeat around (12 SC)

Round 10: SC in each stitch around (12 SC)

Round 11: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 5, repeat around (14 SC)

Round 12: SC in each stitch around (14 SC)

Fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto hat. Stuff with poly-fil and with your tapestry needle, sew horn onto hat just in front of your first round.

Want your horn longer? Continue the pattern! hopefully you can see how each round is increasing. So the next round would be “2 SC in first, SC in next 6.”













Unicorn Ears (Make 2):



Chain 5, SC in 2nd chain from hook and in remaining chains, ch 1, turn (4 SC)

Row 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next two, 2 SC in last stitch, ch 1, turn (6 SC)

Row 3-5: SC in each stitch across, ch 1, turn (6 SC)

Row 6: SC Decrease, SC in next two, SC decrease, ch 1, turn

Row 7: SC in each stitch across, ch 1, turn (4 SC)

Row 8: Make 2 SC decreases, continue to SC around entire ear. Join to the second SC (this will cause the ear to cup). Fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto hat. Sew onto hat about one row away from the horn.









Unicorn Mane:

Cut 3 strands of yarn about 12 inches long. Hook yarn with your crochet hook in the middle of the 12 inch strands. Pull through the backside of a double crochet stitch. Now grab the ends of the yarn (you should have 6 strands because your yarn is now halved) and pull through the loop. Pull tight. Trim yarn after your entire mane is finished.











You will want to start with the red yarn, “knotting it” around all the double crochet stitches that surround the base of the horn. Then “knot” the orange yarn around each double crochet along the next row of double crochets (about 12 double crochets across). Continue with all the colors. Each color getting their own row. You will want to have empty rows at the bottom since the yarn will hang down and cover that space. If you are making larger hats, consider skipping a row in between colors or creating two rows of each color. Be careful though, because the yarn can add a lot of weight to the back of the hat. 0-3 month size is pictured.

















Now you have completed your unicorn hat! It is sure to brighten anyones day 🙂
