Mane:
A noble unicorn often also has a beautiful mane:
best made of crochet yarn printed in the color gradient for needle size 1.5 mm (U.S. 000) (but it also works plain).
- for the first curl: ch 20
- Turn, skip first 2 sts behind needle, work 3 dc in every st
This creates a beautiful corkscrew curl.
Crochet 2 more of these. You can also crochet the curls in different lengths.
Sew these curls to the back of the right side of the head.
