ReplyDeleteHello there!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats for the beautiful job!
Thank u for publish it for us
I do not understand how to make the Long and short curls. Only chains?
Chain and then turn and crochet up the chain.
DeleteI used hdc for the curls and found I got a curlier tail. 2 hdc in 2nd chain from hook and 3 in each chain thereafter. Thanks for the fab pattern, I've really enjoyed it :-)
DeleteHI, thank you for sharing this pattern. Could you let me know which yarn you used for the head? Thank you.
ReplyDeletemeaning which color. Thanks
DeleteHi there! I used Caron Simply Soft in Light Country Peach. :)

ReplyDeleteHi, thank you for the pattern! I am having trouble connecting the legs. Where exactly are they supposed to go together? (back, front, inside the 2 legs?)
ReplyDeleteI’m having trouble with the increase on R5 for the legs
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.. this pattern is beautiful. Can't wait to try! 😘
ReplyDeleteAmei o seu trabalho. Muito obrigada por compartilhar.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed making this for my great granddaughter. It's a Christmas present. I think she is going to enjoy this one most of all. Thank you so much. This pattern is so quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this easy to follow wonderful pattern. My daughter loves her new unicorn girl I made her for her new unicorn/fantasy room. In a week or so there will be a blogpost about her on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern so much! I'd just suggest making sure to let people know if it's continuous rounds or slip stick at the end of some rows.
ReplyDeleteI will say though, I've learned a bunch by following this, the legs specifically, I've been crocheting them and just sewing onto the body....not anymore! Thank you!
