How to crochet Squishy Unicorn
Whether you want a pillow, an amigurumi toy, or just a cuddly friend, this free unicorn squishy crochet pattern is easy enough for advanced beginners using basic stitches and simple sewing skills.
To get started, you’ll need super bulky weight 6 yarn for that extra soft and plush feel, an 8mm crochet hook (or the size that works best with your gauge swatch).
You’ll also need some safety eyes (I tested with 16mm clip-on eyes and 44mm glue-on felt eyes—choose what works best for you), and some toy stuffing—but don’t overfill! Keeping it lightly stuffed makes it extra squishy.
This free crochet pattern includes a simple tutorial to guide you step by step, making it a stress-free and enjoyable project. Whether you’re making it as a gift or for yourself, this unicorn squishy is sure to be a favorite.
