Crochet Unicorn Instructions
- Our amigurumi are mostly done in continuous rounds starting with a Magic Ring. You don’t need to end with a slip stitch. Do use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of every round at all times.
- You may wish to download the Counter+ app to help you with your counting.
- Please crochet the stitches tightly to prevent the poly-fiber stuffing from showing. However, do not crochet too tightly, otherwise it’ll be difficult to continue.
- Be sure to push the washer down only the first screw of the safety eye, so as to prevent bulging.
- If you’re using a smaller washer, you have to push down twice.
- Always stuff your amigurumi firmly till the point that it feels bouncy.
- Always leave a long tail for sewing.
- When felting, ensure that the needle is perpendicular to object.
