Unicorn Hood
Gold! Gold! Gold! I love this Gold Leaf yarn. It has just the right amount of shine to it. Plus it is bulky. When I saw this yarn I knew it would be great for the Unicorn Hood that I was planning to make. The shine of the Gold Leaf yarn plus the shimmer of Glitterspun really brought this Unicorn to life! Below is the pattern that will tell you how to crochet this Unicorn Hood.

Tie off and leave a tail for sewing onto the hood.
Take strands of the fun fur yarn and the silk to the last row of the horn before you sew it onto the hood. You will need to fluff the yarn the way that you want it to appear before you stitch it to the hood. After you get the fur/fuzz/hair onto the horn the way you want it, you will need to stuff it. Once it is stuffed you can sew it onto the hood.
