Emma the Unicorn makes girls’ hearts beat faster. With her curly mane and adorable look, every girl will gladly take her to heart.

Emma the Unicorn is 22 cm tall when made using the specified materials. Personally, I recommend cotton yarn for remaking all of my cuddly toys.

The pattern includes many step-by-step photos to make it easier to follow. However, basic crochet skills (single crochet, increases, decreases) are required.

For those who like their cuddly toys a bit bigger, there’s the pattern for Elli the Unicorn. Using the specified materials, she’ll be a whopping 44 cm long.

Personally, I recommend using cotton yarn for all my amigurumi projects.

The pattern includes many step-by-step photos to make recreating it easier. However, basic crochet skills are required.

What little girl doesn’t dream of being a mermaid one day? Here’s a dress-up doll for her… the mermaid tail can be put on and taken off, making it twice as much fun.
The crochet pattern includes plenty of photos showing how to make the doll. I’ll be creating a few more outfits for the dress-up doll over time to ensure plenty of variety.

• Cotton yarn in various colors
• stuffing
• 5 pipe cleaners
• 10 mm safety eyes
• Eyelashes (optional)

Skills:

• Single crochet stitches
