Unicorn Amigurumi - Free Crochet Pattern

As I've made different crochet projects for friends and family and have had requests for repeats, I decided it was time to start writing down my patterns so that my products could be consistant. I've also decided to share my patterns for those who would like to make any of my projects on their own. I learned how to crochet thanks to the many free patterns and tutorials out there in the great wide world of the internet, and I want to give back to help out everyone else in any small way I can.
I'm not a professional by any means, so if my patterns are confusing, I apologize and will do what I can to clarify anything that is not readily understood. I'll do my best to post the instructions in the clearest way possible. In the near future, I'll also be posting video tutorials for different stitches and other basic crochet helps and tricks that I have learned along the way.
Here is the pattern for a cutesy unicorn I have developed. I wanted something with more of a baby and playful, yet still pretty feel to it. For this pattern, I will only abbreviate a few terms, and will write out a lot of the instructions to make it more very-beginner friendly. In future patterns, I'll shorten and abbreviate more.

Supplies:
     *Worsted Weight Yarn (size 4 - I used just a plain white for this unicorn, but obviously you can use any color). I'm not sure how much I used, but it's a fairly small unicorn, so I will estimate that you'll probably need less than 50 yards.
     *Size 3.50 mm Hook (for body, head, legs, and ears)
     *6 mm size Safety Eyes
     *Size 2.00 mm Hook (for the horn)
     *Small amount of Super Fine Yarn (size 1 - for the horn)
     *Small amounts of your choice of Yarn colors for the mane and tail
     *Thin yarn needle
     *polyester fiber-fill or another kind of stuffing
     *stitch markers, or a piece of yarn a different color from the one you're working with to keep track of the beginning of your rows.

Stitches/techniques we will be using:
     *magic circle
     *single crochet (noted as "sc")
     *increase single crochet (noted as "inc")
     *decrease single crochet (noted as "dec")
     ** we'll be working in the round for this project, which means there's no joining or chaining when going from one row to the next. You just keep working as you go.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Head:
     Row 1: Form a magic circle. Inside the magic circle, sc 6 and pull closed (6 stitches)
     Row 2: Increase around (2 sc in each stitch) (12 stitches)
     Row 3: sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
     Row 4: sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc (18 stitches)
     Rows 5 & 6: sc in each stitch around (18 stitches/row)
     Row 7: sc, sc, inc; repeat that pattern all the way around (24 stitches)
     Rows 8-10: sc in each stitch around (24 stitches/row) *Stop here and put in the eyes before continuing. I placed mine between rows 6&7, placing them 12 stitches apart from each other. You can place them anywhere you like, obviously!
     Row 11: sc, sc, dec; repeat pattern all the way around (18 stitches) *Start to stuff the head at this point, continuing to stuff as you finish it up.
     Row 12: sc, dec; repeat pattern all the way around (12 stitches)
     Row 13: decrease all the way around (6 stitches)
     *Finish off (I usually slip stitch into the next stitch and then pull my yarn all the way through) and weave in the ends.

Legs (Make 4):
     Row 1: Form and magic circle. Inside the magic circle, sc 6 and pull closed (6 stitches)
     Row 2: sc, inc; repeat pattern all the way around (9 stitches)
     Rows 3 & 4: sc in each stitch around (9 stitches/row) *Before starting the decrease, lightly stuff each of the feet to help them keep their shape and give them a little bit of weight.
     Row 5: dec once, sc in every other stitch around (8 stitches)
     Row 6: dec once, sc in every other stitch around (7 stitches)
     Row 7: dec once, sc in every other stitch around (6 stitches)
     Rows 8-10: sc in each stitch around (6 stitches)
     *Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing onto the body.

Body:
 **The body can be made two ways, depending on where you want the decreases to be. This only changes the look of the body slightly. Again, it just changes where the decreases will be visible. I've done this body both ways, and will include instructions for both below**

Body (with decreases at top of body):   
     Row 1: Form a magic circle. Inside the magic circle, sc 6 and pull closed (6 stitches)
     Row 2: Inc around (12 stitches)
     Row 3: sc, inc; repeat pattern all the way around (18 stitches)
     Row 4: sc, sc, inc; repeat pattern all the way around (24 stitches)
     Row 5: sc in each stitch around (24 stitches)
     Row 6: sc, sc, sc, inc; repeat pattern all the way around (30 stitches)
     Rows 7 & 8: sc in each stitch around (30 stitches/row)
     Rows 9: sc, sc, sc, dec; repeat pattern all the way around (24 stitches)
     Rows 10 & 11: sc in each stitch around (24 stitches/row)
     Row 12: sc, sc, dec; repeat pattern all the way around (18 stitches)
     Rows 13-14: sc in each stitch around (18 stitches/row) *At this point, you can attach the legs if you want. I like to attach them before I finish off the body because it's easier for me to really secure the legs by sewing them on and then knotting the strings inside the body.
*Start to stuff the body, continuing to stuff as you finish it off.
     Row 15: sc, dec; repeat pattern all the way around (12 stitches)
     Row 16: decrease all the way around (6 stitches)
     *Finish off and weave in the ends.

Body (with decreases at bottom of body):
     Row 1: Form a magic circle. Inside the magic circle, sc 6 and pull closed (6 stitches)
     Row 2: inc in each stitch around (12 stitches)
     Row 3: sc, inc; repeat pattern all the way around (18 stitches)
     Rows 4 & 5: sc in each stitch around (18 stitches/row)
     Row 6: sc, sc, inc; repeat pattern all the way around (24 stitches)
     Rows 7 & 8: sc in each stitch around (24 stitches)
     Row 9: sc, sc, sc, inc; repeat pattern all the way around (30 stitches)
     Rows 10 & 11: sc in each stitch around (30 stitches/row)
     Row 12: sc, sc, sc, dec; repeat pattern all the way around (24 stitches)
     Row 13: sc in each stitch around (24 stitches)
     Row 14: sc, sc, dec; repeat pattern all the way around (18 stitches) *At this point, you can attach the legs and start to stuff the body. Continue stuffing as you finish off the body.
     Row 15: sc, dec; repeat pattern all the way around (12 stitches)
     Row 16: dec all the way around (6 stitches)
     *Finish off and weave in the ends.

Ears (Make 2):
     Row 1: Form a magic circle. Inside the magic circle, sc 4 (4 stitches)
     Rows 2 & 3: sc in each stitch (4 stitches/row)
     *Finish off and sew onto head.

Horn:
     *Using size 2.00 mm Hook & size 1/Super Fine yarn*
     Row 1: Form a magic circle. Inside the magic circle, sc 4 (4 stitches)
     Rows 2-4: sc in each stitch around (4 stitches/row)
     *Finish off, lightly stuff, then sew onto head.

**At this point, you can sew the head onto the body, and sew the legs on if you haven't already, and attach the hair. There are a few different ways you can attach it. I chose to attach mine by using my 2.00 mm crochet hook and inserting it under and back up through the back of one stitch. I took a piece of yarn, folded in half, grabbed it with the hook, then pulled it back up through the back of the stitch where my hook was inserted. I the grabbed the two loose ends and pulled them through the loop, and pulled it tight. If you want to make sure that the hair doesn't go anywhere, you could also knot it one more time at this point. I went in a straight line down the back of the unicorns head for the mane, starting slightly in front of the horn, and ending where the head and body join together. For the tail, I just took one strand of each color and bunched them very closely together to make a small tail.

And that's it, you're done!! Now, if you have a small boy in your life, or even a girl that's not into unicorns, you could very easily make this into a rhinoceros! All you would have to do it place the horn near the top end of the head, leave out the hair, and create a small tail  by chaining about 4-6 stitches, and then going back and slip stitching through each stitch to create a stiff tail.

Hopefully this pattern was fairly easy to follow, and I hope you have fun creating your little creatures! Feel free to give away or sell what you make from this pattern, but DO NOT claim this pattern as your own, adjust the pattern and re-brand it as your own, or sell this pattern. Also, please DO NOT use any of my photos. Thank you!!
