Stash-busting unicorn

I made this for myself.

    About

    The pattern and yarn were a free gift but I decided to bust my stash by using odds and ends from previous projects in order to improve the quality of my unicorn. I am experiencing 'stash guilt' and I blame LK because of the latest competition. I had a look at my stash and realised I buy yarn for a project and the project gets put on hold for the next big thing. Hopefully this annoying feeling won't last ????

    Pattern

    Topaz unicorn

    This pattern is from:
    Let's Knit Magazine

    Yarns

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 4.00mm (US 6) 25cm

    Accessories

    • Stuffing
    • Tapestry Needle

    Measurements

    Notes: I used primary colours for the mane and tail rather than the pastels suggested and knitted the hooves in black and the legs in white rather than in stripes.

      Jinx, Hazel! What a coincidence. I've planned to make unicorns for our niece's birthday next month. Absolutely love the colour combinations on your unicorn.

        It's a great pattern and quick to knit up. I wanted to use primary colours from my stash as they stand out more; I ended up giving it to my grandson.

        @Na.Y: the unicorn is currently sitting on his rocking horse along with the panda and Ralph. Paddy loves shaking the unicorn to see the mane move!

        @Hazel H: I could just imagine him gleefully doing so! I planned to have Abby's unicorn in purple with yellow mane & tail just because they're her current favourite colours. You know how children can be rather fickle with their favourite things. But I might reconsider rainbow ones after seeing yours & how much Paddy loves it. Thank you so much for the inspiration, Hazel!

        @Na.Y: Purple with a yellow mane and tail sounds lovely but I understand the fickle nature of children's favourite colours; my granddaughter says hers is pink but then changes like the weather (in the UK).

        Thanks, I''m glad I decided to use my stash rather than the yarn that came with the kit.
