  11. I tried it again using a chain of only 8 and also joining the chain into the bottom of the second last treble rather than the very last and the head came out looking like a horse head. There is a video on youtube in which the horse looks ok but the video is in Spanish which I don't speak so I altered this one. also in the video she used a stitch I've never seen.I think it's some kind of treble but it's not the usual one although I think it has the same effect or at least close

  14. Hi, this is gorgeous and I would like to use it on a Christmas present I’m making for a friend’s daughter but I’m having trouble understanding the pattern. Could you please clarify the steps for the head? Thank you so so much. You have a fantastic website.

  16. I have done all appliques no problem, but this… it’s really not well explained. Any chance you could help all of us who are in the same situation? It’s very frustrating as I am not an expert and can’t figure it out on my own… I’ve worked a lot for this one to turn out ugly…

  17. This pattern is impossible! I got to “join to bottom of last TC, chain 1, turn” and am freaking stumped. I tried every which way to try to make sense of this, and ended up abandoning it and making up my own way. It looks awful and nothing like the photo. Please help us understand, and clarify the instructions!

    • I am having a problem with this one also. Did anyone get an answer to questions asked? I have all of the other ones finished but this unicorn. Help. Don’t know where to join..looks wrong.

      Thanks, Jan

  18. I know these comments are from several years ago, but hopefully I can help. On the first row, after you TC, work the 4 chains and the 2 TC, you’re going to slip stitch at the bottom of the last tc you made BEFORE that most recent chain that you just worked into. This slip stitch will be basically into the very first ch 10 you did to start the unicorn. These stitches form the back of the unicorn’s head. I hope that helps!! =)

  19. Hello Sarah,
    Thank you for your Cute Unicorn pattern. I finally understand your pattern! Praise the Lord! Lol , I was having a hard time here too just like the other ladies. Sometimes you got to stop everything, t.v. , noise, and use a little more focus. So I just kept reading it over & over as I crocheted it. And about the 4th time around the light bulb came on, I Got It!

    So to all the ladies who had problems understanding it, please just keep reading it slowly and notice the comas, stop and read the next, one word at a time. You will get it too!

  20. I am having a hard time also with the unicorn and the start of the tc and where to join the head. Please let me know how this is done.

    Thanks!
