CUDDLY CROCHET UNICORN STUFF TOY

This is the off-shoot of that headband.

For this cute and cuddly, visit http://littleyarnfriends.com/post/56775553323/crochet-pattern-my-little-pony-rarity
and this cute little cuddly toy is nearly 12" tall, and the client absolutely loves it.. so yaaay :)
For this project too, I worked with the stuffing balls - i.e stuffed the poly fill stuffing into stocking net and made large balls that I then stuffed into the stuff toy. These are much smaller balls, but this is an idea of what I did - just larger sized.
