Cute Unicorn Crochet Slippers Free Pattern
Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.
How to Crochet the Unicorn Crochet Slippers
There are a few key steps to the construction of the unicorn slippers.
Begin with the basic base and sole of the design and join them together to encase an existing slipper sole.
Add a toe section that your amigurumi unicorn head will attach to.
Create the individual parts of the crochet unicorn – the head, horn, eyes, ears, wings, tail and mane.
Sew and/or crochet all the individual parts onto the crochet slippers.
The great thing about adding the unicorn head and features afterwards means that if you don’t fancy crocheting the actual slippers then you can just make the unicorn and add it to an existing pair!
Materials
Along with your yarn, you will need the following:
3.5mm (US E/4) crochet hook – my favourite is a Furls Odyssey Crochet Hook for amigurumi.
1mm (US 10 steel) crochet hook for the eyes – this Clover Amour Crochet Hook is great.
Tapestry needle – these bent tapestry needles are great.
Scissors
Stitch markers – I love these Enamel Jewel Stitch Markers.
White Flip- Flops or Slipper soles in sizes UK 4-7
Toy Stuffing for head and horn
2 Pieces of white craft felt the same size as the slipper upper

Pattern Notes
Before we get to the pattern, there are a few important notes to make sure you read though first. These will really help to set out on the right track and avoid any mistakes.
The ch1 at the beg of a row or round does not count as a st.
Slipper tops are worked in rounds that are joined.
Add eyes, ears, horn and nose to unicorn head before sewing head to slipper base.
Use 3.5mm hook throughout unless told otherwise.
Apart from inner ears and wings, unicorn head parts are worked continuously in a spiral without closing off each round with a ss.
It may help to use a stitch marker in the first st of each round, moving it up as you work.
