Sleepy Lavender Crochet Unicorn – Free Pattern Link

It was based on this cute pattern from:

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hope-the-baby-unicorn-amigurumi

I made the legs longer by adding in extra rows and made curly cues for the mane and tail.

Curly cue tutorial:

https://www.1dogwoof.com/crochet-curly-cue-sampler/

The lavender sachet was made using dried lavender buds with a few drops of lavender essential oil. All sewn into a little sachet. This measured approximately 3” by 2”. I put this inside the main body part and surrounded it with soft toy filling before finishing the body.

It smells absolutely lovely! I hope it helps the little girl have sweet dreams.
