Lolli the unicorn

Lolli the Unicorn Crochet Toy Pattern

What Is Being Made

Lolli the Unicorn is a crocheted amigurumi-style toy designed by Alison North of KornflakeStew. This finished stuffed unicorn toy measures approximately 17 inches tall from head to toe, making it a substantial handmade companion piece suitable for children or decorative display.

Craft and Technique

This pattern uses crochet as the primary construction method. The design is worked as an amigurumi project, which is the Japanese technique of crocheting small stuffed toys and animals in the round. The pattern provides step-by-step instructions written in American crochet terminology, ensuring clarity for English-speaking crocheters. The intermediate difficulty level indicates that crafters should have foundational crochet skills and familiarity with common amigurumi techniques before beginning this project.

Stitches and Construction

While specific stitch names are not detailed in the pattern excerpt provided, amigurumi construction typically employs fundamental crochet stitches including single crochet for shaping and increases and decreases for creating the three-dimensional form of the unicorn's head, body, legs, and horn. The pattern uses a stitch marker (which can be made from scrap yarn) to track the beginning of rounds during circular construction.

Materials and Tools

• Crochet Hook: 2.5mm size
• Yarn: D.K. weight or light worsted yarn. The designer used Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel in shade 804 for the pictured version, though crafters are encouraged to experiment with different yarn colors and types
• Stuffing: Toy stuffing for filling the completed unicorn from head to toe
• Additional Tools: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and closing seams
