Completed: Unicorn Messenger Bag

I recently completed this crochet Unicorn Messenger Bag. My brother asked me to make one after seeing the Teddy Bear Messenger Bag I made at Christmas for my nephew.

I used the same pattern from Ana Paula Rimoli’s Amigurumi On The Go book and added a unicorn applique instead of a teddy bear face. At first I tried to make the unicorn face round, like the bear but with white yarn and then pointy ears and was going to add a unicorn horn but it was not looking like a unicorn face. So I found the Ragdoll Unicorn pattern from Spin A Yarn Crochet and made it smaller and only one sided (so not a stuffy) to create the unicorn applique. It was a bit fiddly and a lot of sewing but I think it turned out well.

I used Red Heart Super Saver in Navy for the bag and Loops & Threads Impeccable for the Unicorn and colours from my stash for the rainbow hair and unicorn horn.

WIP: Unicorn rug

I have started working on the Unicorn Rug from the book Rugs for Kids by Kristi Simpson. I had started working on the cow rug but realized I have to focus on making gifts right now, not fun stuff for myself! So the Unicorn is for my niece for Christmas and I will also make the Rocket Ship rug for my Nephew.

Even though they are larger items they work up fairly quickly so I think they will be done in plenty of time to mail them off for the holidays.
