Amigurumi Unicorn | Keep Calm and Crochet On U.K

Are you a unicorn fan? There’s a new unicorn in my Deramores Designer Shop if you were after a pattern.

If you follow me in other places then you may have had a sneek peep at these guys – my plan was to write up a blog post back in January but having everyone home (due to the UK being back in lockdown at the moment) is kicking my behind in terms of productivity! So whilst the kids are amused I’ve snuck into the other room to write this up.

❤️ SHOP UNICORN PATTERN FROM DERAMORES ❤️

The patterns is available as a kit in two different colourways pastel pink or rainbow, my youngest daughter particularly likes the pink unicorn, or as just a digital pattern download.

For both unicorns I used Deramores Studio DK and a 3mm hook. If you are a follower of this blog you’ll know that I’ve used Deramores Studio DK for several designs and projects and I really enjoy working with it, it’s a lovely soft and squishy yarn.

❤️ SAVE UNICORNS ON RAVELRY ❤️

I also used Deramores Studio DK for another design that’s also available in my Deramores Shop. It’s a mummy and baby elephant, which I wanted to have a bit of a vintage feel.

❤️ SHOP ELEPHANTS PATTERN FROM DERAMORES ❤️

The elephants are actually designed to be worked in one piece, so the only parts you sew on are the ears and the tail! The legs and trunk are worked directly onto the body for a seam free look.

I think these amigurumi toys are perfect for your little ones to use in safari play, or as some friends for them to snuggle up to.

Like the unicorns you can pick up the elephant family as either a single pattern, for £1 / $1.30, or as a kit with everything you need (pattern, yarn, safety eyes and stuffing).

If you are looking for more cute crochet projects to hook up there are bears, bunny’s, dogs, cats, donkey’s and horses and poppies all available in my Deramores Designer Shop

As always if you hook up the Unicorns or Elephants I hope you’ll tag kcaco.uk and Deramores on Instagram or share your projects in my Facebook group as I love to see your finished work!

Until next time folks! Happy hooking, keep calm and crochet on my friends xx

Crochet Mag ‘n’ Makes, the special edition of Make It Today magazine, is on sale now and I’ve got two new fun designs inside AND (as we wanted to launch with a bang) there’s another feature and crochet related giveaway from Dear Ewe in this issue!

You can just see on the front cover a couple of my makes – peeking out in the top right hand corner there’s a snail and at the bottom left you might just be able to make out a Stripes the Unicorn!

I’ve always wanted to design a unicorn so was excited to give one a go for the magazine and he turned out to be really fun to make. And I always think of rainbows when I think of unicorns but I wanted to give this make a little twist, so instead of giving him a stripy rainbow mane (which you always see), I decided to give him a stripy body.

I had to hide him a little whilst I was making him as my 7 year old is unicorn mad and would have run off with him given the chance!

In this issue I also made a colorful shellection of snails! Just forget about annoying garden pests and make up some gorgeous gastrapods to brighten up your day instead.

I nicknamed them Shelly and Sheldon (of course!) and opted for a traditional swirly pattern on their shells. But you could experiment with designs to create something completely unique to you.

I adore how the magazines have styled them as well with the bulb box and the flowers!

The mags and makes issue comes with the eight yarns I used for the patterns plus;

3mm hook & 4.5mm crochet hooks
55 exclusive patterns
Plus a 66 page magazine

You may also spy on page 6 in their news section that Dear Ewe had a lovely little feature…Little Ewe felt quite famous!
