As you may have noticed by now, I like making things for other people. So, for me it was a no-brainer to also make something for my dance partner when it was his birthday. There is this Youtube-film/song that he keeps singing, "Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows", and he loves the part in Despicable Me where Agnes gets the unicorn plushie (it's so fluffy!). It would therefore only be fitting to create a pink fluffy unicorn for him. Read further for the pattern.Materials
- Pink wool
- White wool
- Yellow/goldish wool for the horn
- Rainbow-coloured wool for the tail and manes
- Black wool, thread or beads for the eyes

Sew all parts together, add black wool, thread or beads for the eyes, and weave the rainbow coloured wool through the body for the manes and tail, and the pink fluffy unicorn is finished!
For the next time I would make the body shorter, but I'm very pleased with the first pattern I drafted.
