notes
-It’s always advisable to give the entire pattern a read before start crocheting ;)
-The amounts of yarn will vary according to the yarn you choose and how loosely or
tightly you crochet, but it will be take you a little more of 100 grams for the main color.
-This project is worked in a continuous spiral, not in joined rounds. To keep track of the
rounds you may use a stitch marker or safety pin to mark the beginning of a round.
Move your stitch marker at the beginning of each round.
-At the end of each line you will find the number of stitches you should have in
brackets.
-Body and legs are worked in a single piece.

Between the legs you have 10 stitch spaces along
the sides and 4 stitch spaces at the front and

stitches. Start with the 10 stitch space along the

ASSEMBLY OF THE BODY
Using a tapestry needle, sew the front flap to
both front legs and the back flap to both back
legs.
Stuff each leg firmly with fiberfill.
Using a tapestry needle, sew the wide belly flap
to the other side of the unicorn.
Then sew the belly flap to both legs and the flaps
between them, stuffing the body as you go.
Sew the head to the body.
Note: There are two versions of the

mane. The first version, the one that
appears in the cover of the pattern,
and a second one, the one that
appears in the English edition of my
book “Animal Friends of Pica Pau”.
Why did I change or left that first
version out? Mainly because several
proofreaders felt that the first version
was more difficult to sew. Perhaps not
the best decision. It happens.
Here you have both versions and you
may choose the one that you like
better ;)

Hello! My name is Yanina Schenkel, professional crochet toy designer born in
Argentina. I studied design and fine arts. I started crocheting while commuting
to College, and between classes. In 2009 I started mixing my drawings with
the three-dimensional crochet technique and that’s how Pica Pau was born.
Besides working on my toys and designs, I have collaborated with several
illustrators, authors, and brands such as Faena Hotel, Fanny & Alexander and
Anthropologie. I have worked on a broad range of projects, from illustrating
children’s books over producing and designing children events at MALBA to
designing for a crochet stop motion ad. I’m a regular contributor to several
crochet and craft publications such as Mollie Makes, Köel Magazine,The
Sewing Box, Simply Crochet, Inside Crochet and the Zoomigurumi series.
I’m also the author of the amigurumi books “El mundo de Pica Pau” (The
World of Pica Pau), “Animal Friends of Pica Pau” and “Animal Friends of
Pica Pau 2”, already printed in 9 languages.
Last but not least, I am a mother of three kids and a cat.
