Grab your yarn and get cozy — a new amigurumi adventure awaits… 
Meet Stella the Little Unicorn, an adorable and magical amigurumi design created by Olga Romakhina. This free crochet pattern is perfect for crafters with basic crochet skills, offering a fun and relaxing project that results in a sweet little unicorn about 15 cm tall. The pattern is step by step and beginner friendly, with each part crocheted in a spiral—starting from the legs. You’ll love watching Stella come to life as you work through each section of this easy-level design.

To make your own Stella, you’ll need materials like YarnArt JEANS (color 03 for the main body and color 35 for the horn and hooves) and soft Alize Baby Softy yarn in variegated tones for that dreamy unicorn mane. Add safety eyes, a touch of black thread to embroider the muzzle, and some stuffing for the perfect cuddly finish.

Close the opening, hide the tail inside the piece.

Assembly

To attach the head evenly, I secure it with a pin.
To make the head sit firmly and not wobble, stuff some filling into the opening while sewing.
For the eyes, I used 6 mm beads, first making a tightening on the muzzle.
I make the tightening and attach the eyes at the beginning and end of the hdc increases in Round 11.
I used “Azhurnaya” thread from Pekhorka for embroidering.

I attached the mane and tail using the same technique as tassels on a scarf.
And now your unicorn is ready!
I hope the creation process was easy and enjoyable, and that the result met your expectations!
