A Unicorn Built Piece by Piece

The Shimmer Unicorn Crochet Kit makes a sitting unicorn with real shape. Crocheters work the head, body, feet, arms, and ears as separate pieces in soft cream tube yarn, add the curly mane and tail in pastel colors, and top it all with a horn in sparkly gold yarn. Then everything is sewn together into one unicorn that sits up on its own, with safety eyes to finish the face.

Real Crochet Skills, One Video at a Time

The pattern uses the stitches that most amigurumi are made with, starting from a magic ring and building each piece with single crochet, increases, and decreases. A QR code in the kit opens 11 short video lessons that follow the pattern part by part, so you can watch each step before you try it. New to amigurumi?

This is a great kit for a beginner. It comes with everything you need to make the unicorn. The crochet hook is especially nice with the comfortable grip on it. It came with plenty of yarn to complete the project and even extra. The instructions were clear and easy to follow.

Awesome yarn colors and tools. Easy to read instructions and pattern. This would be a good set for beginners. Also makes a great gift.

Who doesn't love unicorns? This kit will teach you everything you know and include all the materials needed to crochet one of your own. It is really cute and super fun to make. Now I want to see more fun kits like this.

Very clear instructions

The video and instructions are very clear and helpful. Definitely gave me a confidence boost on my abilities ❤️

Awesome for beginners!

Super easy instructions and top-quality materials.

This turned out adorable! However... I wouldn't pick this up if you are brand new. While the written and video instructions are good for the most part, there are certain things if you didn't know basics would mess up the project.Also, the batting (stuffing) is a thing of nightmares. Did not love it nearly as much as other products are are similar it was soooo tough to get details on because the batting was so tough.Overall, it was adorable my daughter loved it and I haven't seen this design anywhere else so the cute factor is a definite plus for me!

I got this kit for my 9 year old. She really loves doing artsy stuff and is big into crocheting right now. It's easy to use, good quality yarn, durable and looks great. A fun little project for kids or even yourself! Definitely worth purchasing!

Perfect for beginners! The instructions are clear and easy to follow. They include everything you need. The materials are high quality and easy to work with. Very cool!

Questions parents ask

What's included in the Shimmer Unicorn Crochet Kit?

A pre-started piece, beginner-friendly tube yarn in cream, pink, mint, and lilac, a sparkly gold yarn for the horn, a crochet hook, stitch markers, a yarn needle, safety eyes, polyfill stuffing, printed and video instructions, and a storage bag.

How big is the finished unicorn?

The pattern lists the finished unicorn at about 11.5 cm, or roughly 4.5 inches, tall when it sits. Every handmade piece comes out a little different, depending on how tightly you crochet.

Can a complete beginner make it?

Yes. The box calls it perfect for beginners, the yarn comes pre-started, and there is a video for every part. It does have more pieces than our Rainbow Unicorn, so brand-new crocheters should expect a learning curve and lean on the videos. If you want the gentlest possible start, begin with the Rainbow Unicorn.

How do the video tutorials work?

A QR code card in the kit opens our step-by-step videos. There are 11 lessons that follow the pattern in order, covering the head, body, feet, arms, ears, mouth, hair, tail, horn, and two lessons on sewing it all together.

How long does it take to make?

The box estimates 3 to 8 hours. With this many pieces, most makers work on it over several sessions, and the storage bag keeps everything together in between.

What ages is it best for?

It is recommended for ages 12 and up, and teens and adults love it too. Younger crafters who are keen to learn can do well with a grown-up crocheting alongside them.

Is it safe for kids?

Every Pinwheel Crafts kit is CPSIA compliant, which means it meets the US federal safety requirements for children's products. The safety eyes and stitch markers are small parts, so the kit is not for children under 3. A grown-up may need to help press the washers onto the safety eyes, which takes a firm push. The finished unicorn has safety eyes too, so keep it away from babies and toddlers.

Does it make a good gift?

Yes. It is a lovely birthday or holiday gift for a crafty tween or teen who wants to learn crochet, and the finished unicorn makes a sweet handmade present of its own.
