May and Unicorns It was so much fun to knit this Unicorn Hat! The hat itself was knit in the round on double pointed needles. Then I crocheted this beautiful purple horn and stitched it to the top centre of the hat. Then I made these two cute ears. Then the small roses. The last step was a colourful mane - each part of it was stitched to the hat. It was magic!! The first try was on a snowman on a wonderfully weird April day - it snowed! The hat was fitting very well.
The hat was made in 2021. Amelia was 6,5, and Zoey just turned 3. Today 'Zoey the Unicorn' is 7. Click here to go to the 2021 Newsletter - "Unicorn Hat"

Happy knitting!
