There’s nothing more magical than unicorns! I was excited to design a unicorn hat that was different from many of the unicorn hats that I have been seeing. I decided to use softer pastel colors and gave the hat a sweet scallop edge. I have provided the pattern for both with and without ear-flaps. Enjoy!

CLICK HERE to watch my Tutorial on how to add Braids
Cut three 36” strands of the five pastel colors (light pink, light purple, blue, green & yellow). Total= 15 strands. Holding all of the strands, fold in half and pass the folded loop through the bottom of the ear flap (see pic of Llama Hat). Pass the strand ends through the loop and pull tight to form a knot. Divide the strands into three sections (10 strands in each) and braid. Repeat for 2nd braid.

Cut 16” long pieces of your mane colors (I used pastels in light pink, light purple, blue, green & yellow) and attach the strands two at a time around the stitches between the ears and down the back of the head. I recommend doing one row of each color.
Use a crochet hook to pull two strands of “hair” under a stitch.
You will have the loop on your hook on one side of the stitch and the 4 loose ends on the other.
Pull the 4 loose ends through the loop.
Tie a knot.
