Step 1: Creating the Body

1. Magic Ring: Begin with a magic ring and 6 sc into the ring.
2. Increase Rounds: Work increases in each round to gradually build the body.
3. Even Rounds: After reaching the desired circumference, crochet without increasing for several rounds to create a cylindrical shape.

2. Increase Rounds: Work a few rounds of increases to shape the head.
3. Even Rounds: Crochet several rounds without increasing to form the head’s midsection.
4. Decreases: Begin decreasing as you reach the top of the head.

Step 3: Adding the Legs

1. Front and Back Legs: Crochet small cylindrical shapes for the legs, using even rounds after an initial increase.
2. Attach to Body: Use a tapestry needle to securely sew the legs to the body, adjusting placement for balance.

Step 4: Crafting the Mane and Tail

1. Mane: Use various colors to crochet strands or small spirals for the mane. Attach each strand to the head along the spine.
2. Tail: Create a bundle of colorful strands, tying them together and attaching them to the back of the body.

Step 5: Making the Horn
