“Perhaps the most wondrous of all mystical creatures, the unicorn is a symbol of miracles and enchantment.”
The unicorn gives us the power to believe that anything is possible. These fun and mythical creatures are what fantasies and dreams are made of. This pattern will transform a basic pair of slippers into unicorns that is fun for all ages!
Not looking to make unicorn slippers? Transform yours into other creatures with a few modifications! My video tutorial and FREE written pattern gives instructions on how to make 3 different sizes. I think we all could use some cozy unicorn slippers. Am I right?
Follow along with this video tutorial to learn how to make these magical slippers:

-The video tutorial ONLY shows the MEDIUM size.
-The sole is made and then the back of the slipper is made and then the front of the slipper and embellishments are made. If you are making smaller or bigger sizes, follow the written pattern for the sole and then watch the video tutorial for help on making the back of the slipper and the front of the slipper.
-The front of the slipper is the same on ALL sizes. The back may be a little different because of the stitch counts.
-This pattern is written for one foot. Be sure to make enough pieces for two feet.
-Depending on how stuffed you want this slipper, you can stuff it as much as you need. The more you stuff, the more your foot will be pushed down into the sole.

These are soooo friggin cute! I love these!!!!
Adorable!! Thank you!!
Do you have this pattern for a child? My granddaughter would love it.
These are so darn cute. Have you written a pattern for these to fit children?
Use a smaller hook
I have a friend who wants these for her daughter,who wears a woman’s size 2. Can you help me with the adjustment to the pattern?
Unfortunately I do not have stitch counts to make this for a smaller size, but if you use a smaller crochet hook and make less rows on the sole of the slipper, you should be able to make this for a smaller size. Good luck! I wish I was more help! ~Nadia
Owww such adorable dolls, perfect for kids, seems like a whole long procedure to actually have these pretty dolls made but guess its worth it!! This would make a perfect gift for little ones. Thanks
If I use the chunky yarn do I have to use two strands?
