This is one of the Big Knit hats I’ve been wanting to crochet for a while – a Unicorn, with a sparkly horn, and colour changing mane.
I knew in my head what the little crochet hat was going to look like, but couldn’t quite work out the horn and how that would work – then I had a Eureka moment……
and finally got around to making a crochet unicorn hat for the Big Knit and AgeUK.
Feel free to pin it for later below

Not of course forgetting the fairy hat with video which can be found here>>>
I used some variegated yarns to make the mane – just make sure you use the right hook size for the yarn you use.
