Meet Lilac the Bear!

Hey there!

While watching Calico Star Studio crochet tons of new projects, I decided to pull out my own crochet and make a new little friend! It is my pleasure to introduce Lilac the bear! ❤ 

I used the pattern for Valentine Bears on pages 10-12 of The Big Book of Little Amigurumi by Ana Paula Rímoli. I found this pattern super cute and easy! I had lots of fun making Lilac and adding the special little touches like her soft green skirt, shiny black eyes, and silky bows. I am super pleased with how she came out, and can’t wait to introduce her to Carrots, Morton, Olivia, Rainbow, and Bobbles! 😉 Welcome, Lilac!

Meet Rainbow!

Tearing off the wrapping paper on Christmas a few years ago, I unwrapped a Crochet Amigurumi book. Immediately flipping through the pages to see what I could create, I spotted a unicorn.

Sometime later, in the yarn isle of the store, an interesting blue cotton yarn caught my attention. So, (obviously) I bought it. When I got home, I tried to think of what I could make with my new yarn. Aha! My unicorn! The skein of yarn wasn’t big enough to make the entire body out of, but I decided to do some accents blue, with grey for the main body.

It took me a while to actually start making my unicorn, but once I did, it wasn’t long before my unicorn was finished. The finished product? Meet Rainbow!

Crocheted Unicorn Hat

Hello!

I love unicorns. I know they aren’t real, but you can never be sure… 😉 One of my favorite things to crochet is a hat. I have made only one or two, but they are extremely fun, and can usually be made in 1-2 days. Why not make a unicorn hat?

I found a bunch of Unicorn Hat patterns on Ravelry, a knit and crochet community (if you like crocheting and/or knitting and don’t have an account, I strongly suggest getting one!), but several of them weren’t what I was looking for – then there it was: a free crochet pattern for an adult-sized unicorn hat with ear flaps!

Immediately printing the pattern out and rushing up the stairs to my yarn stash, I thought about all the possible color combos. A while back, I made an Amigurumi (stuffed animal) Unicorn, which was grey with a rainbow mane and tail. I wanted a rainbow mane and tail for myself, too! (Also, rainbow colors match anything, so you don’t have to worry about the colors not matching your outfit!)

I had SO much fun making this hat! It was fairly easy; the only stitches you need to know are sc, hdc, and sl st (Single Crochet, Half-Double Crochet, and Slip Stitch). If you want a Unicorn hat, this is a great pattern to use! The link to the crochet pattern is at the bottom of the post.

Here are some photos of me modeling it:
