I missed you all!!!!!
It’s been a while since my last post and I apologize for it. Took me a while to think of what to make for my comeback and how to express my gratitude for all your letters of support, simple hello messages and letting me know you are here, missing me and waiting for me to return. I have no words to thank you! Your selfless and generous hears have left me speechless. What I can do is to make many more free patterns available for you to enjoy, and to try to help you whenever needed.
As you can see, there are some changes on this web, and I am still working on it. I have extended it in order to add shop. Through the shop I will add some of my patterns which I have for sale. In time will add finished toys done by myself and my friends as well as materials (specially local ones) I use in my creations that are not available in your country. This way I invite all to join me in this venture. If you are interested in selling pattern or finished product on this shop, please feel free to contact me and we’ll find solution suitable for both.
We can talk more about shop later…and as I said, feel free to email me if having any questions.

Mane (make 5)
Use yarn in different colors. I’ve chosen nice pastel colors, but you don’t have to follow my lead. Important is to make 5 pairs of mane which will be sewed on head later.
Make each piece as follows:
Ch31
*Starting from the second chain from hook and crocheting on the back loops of the chain
Inc20, sc10*;
Chain next 31 sts again and repeat ** (30 sts x2)
Tie off leaving long end for sewing mane on the head later
Tail (make 5)
Use same colors as used for mane. Make 5 hairs for tail.
Ch25
Starting from the second chain from hook and crocheting in the back loops of the chain
Inc20, sc5 (25 sts)
Tie off leaving long end for sewing tail later.
How to assemble and more details you can find in free download I can prepared for you and you can find it under
Free Patterns Page or using direct link to Baby Unicorn.
Hope you like it so far and much more I am looking for is to see your Baby Unicorns made and ready to play with.
That is all for now! Looking forward to my next post and hearing from you meantime.
Sending you lots of love and hugs
Vanja
