Chubby Unicorn Amigurumi (Free Crochet Pattern)

If you’ve been around Little Crochet Farm for a while, you probably know how much I love designing chubby animals, and this Chubby Unicorn Amigurumi is no exception! With its round shape, pastel colors, and magical little horn, this cutie was such a fun one to make. I had a funny smile on my face the whole time I was crocheting it!

This pattern is beginner-friendly and super quick to make, perfect for gifting, decorating, or just adding a bit of magic to your amigurumi shelf. It also includes a step-by-step video tutorial to guide you through the process, making it even easier to follow. I hope you enjoy this one as much as the others in this sweet little group of chubby friends!

Crochet Chubby Unicorn Free Pattern

Materials:

• 2mm crochet hook 
• For this chubby Unicorn I chose white, pink, green, blue and yellow for the horn. For the second chubby Unicorn I chose 3 shades of blue and yellow for the horn. Lightweight cotton.
• Black yarn for the eyes. 
• Stuffing material
• Scissors
• Sewing needle.
• Or, you can use safety eyes! The position is at the end of this post.

Finish size:

The finished Chubby Unicorn Amigurumi measures approximately 3″ (about 8 cm) tall. However, the final size may vary depending on your stitch tension and the materials used.

Gauge

Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, so feel free to use a hook size that matches your chosen yarn. I always recommend using a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches tight and prevent the stuffing from showing through. If needed, adjust your hook size for a neater finish.

However, if you’d like to know the gauge for my chosen yarn and materials, here it is:
With sport-weight yarn and a 2mm crochet hook, the gauge for 5 rounds (increasing to 30 stitches) measures approximately 1.6″ (4.5 cm).

Terms and abbreviations (US terms):

Slip stitch (sl): insert the hook into the stitch and pull up a loop, now, pull it through the loop on your needle.

Single crochet (sc): insert the hook into the stitch, and pull up a loop yarn over the needle, you will have two loops on the hook, yarn over the needle, and pull it through the two loops.

Double Crochet (dc): yarn over the needle, insert the hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over the needle, pull through the first two loops of your needle, yarn over the needle, inside all loops on the needle.

Increase (inc): make two single crochet inside the same stitch.

Decrease (dec): Insert the hook into the front loop only of the next two stitches, yarn under, and pull through, you will have two loops on the hook. Yarn under and pull through both loops on the hook.

Especial Stitches

Bobble stitch (BO): Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through two loops (like starting a double crochet). Repeat this process five times in the same stitch, so you will have 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops. Gently tug the stitch to pop the bobble outward.
