Unicorn mane

{Using pink…}
First of all, sew the body to Unicorn’s head, between rounds 27 and 28 of the head. Before starting the mane, you must first prepare the head with a row of superficial sc, which you will then use to crochet the mane. Using some pins, trace a line from the neck to Gigi’s forehead (approximately on round 31 of the head, counting from the initial magic ring).
Starting from the forehead, using pink, insert your hook between two rounds, yarn over and crochet 1 sc. Go on crocheting superficial sc till you reach the last pin. Don’t worry if it’s not super super straight. All in all you should end up with 18 superficial sc. Could be more. Could be less. No worries!
Close, break the yarn and weave in ends.
Now we are ready to start the mane… Insert your hook with the pink yarn in the front loop of the first superficial sc in the forehead. Crochet 1 c in that front loop and then chain 13 ch stitches.
Insert the hook in the second ch from hook and crochet 1 sc. Then crochet 1 sc in each stitch along the chain till you reach the next front loop (12 sc).
Then crochet 1 sc in the next fron loop and chain 13 ch stitches. Insert hook in the second ch from hook and crochet 1 sc. Then crochet 1 sc in each stitch alon the chain till you reach the next front loop. Repeat *till you complete 18 short hair locks at the end of the row of the superficial sc
Now you should turn and repeat the same as before, but on the remaining back loops of the row of superficial sc. This means that you must crochet 18 more hair locks. Thus the mane will be thicker!
When you reach the first sc in which you’ve started, close, break the yarn and weave in ends.

SC = Single Crochet
ST= Stitch
INC = Increase
DEC = Decrease

Note

To change color of the yarn, begin the single crochet with the first color. This should leave you with two loops on your hook. Now grab the second color with the hook and pull it through both loops to complete the stitch. Now continue the next single crochet in the second color.

Muzzle

Because the muzzle is so small, instead of stuffing with poly-fil, I use left over bits of off white yarn. Sew on nose and mouth with black yarn.

Assembly

*Start by aligning the snout onto the face and adding a small amount of stuffing into it. Then, using the tail end of the yarn and a tapestry needle, whipstitch it into place.
*Position the ears to the top of the head and sew them into place as well. It helps to use pins to hold them in place as you do this. Next, sew the body onto the head, making sure to place it so it doesn’t wobble. Then, use pins to decide the position of the arms and legs, and once you’re happy with it, sew them into place as well using the long tail ends we left.
*Finally, use the end of the tail to sew the tail onto the body. You can choose whether to sew the top hat into place or leave it off. I chose to leave the hat and scarf as separate accessories. Finally, weave in all the loose ends and trim any excess yarn.

Notes Before You Start

1.I worked my single crochets in the back loop to make it easier to count my rows and I personally just like the way it looks.
2.Work your rounds in spirals, do not join at the beginning of each round. You will need to use a stitch marker to mark your rounds.
3.Each round has the total number of stitches for the round in brackets. If you are unsure its always a good idea to count your stitches.

Assembly

Attach the arms to the body.
Create hair for your doll.
I combed the wool so it is more fluffy.
Insert the eyes and apply a little eyeshadow or rouge if you like.

Take your piece of fabric.
The 17x5cm include 1 cm seam allowance at the bottom and 1 cm seam allowance at the top, so the finished skirt measured 3 cm.
First fold the bottom part and sew with 1 cm seam allowance.
Then gather your piece until it fits the length of the top + 0.5 cm seam allowance on the left and right side.
Sew or glue the fabric to the top.
Sew the left and right part of the fabric together. Attach the dress to your doll and sew the both sides of the top together.
