When I was planning out the lalylala lamb and fox toys for my grand-niece and -nephew, I started this project to get a feel for the pattern while my yarn was in-transit for the other two.
My DS2 asked for a pink unicorn with rainbow hair, and I used the merino yarn that he helped to dye (plus some natural and ombre-pink BFL that he also helped with).
The pattern was modified from the fox pattern. I had to improvise the tail, ears, horn and mane. DS2 was thrilled with it.
Thank you! He really loves being able to direct the creation of things. I hope that when heโs older and has more patience, heโll be an enthusiastic crafter, too.
