Unicorn Pillow- Free Pattern
Unicorns are such a fun trend! My 8 year old loves unicorns. I’ve wanted to make a unicorn pillow for a long time. So, over the last couple of weeks I started working on one. This unicorn pillow starts very similarly to my Valentine’s Emoji Pillow. The pillow part of the pattern works up very quickly. Then, you just need to add the embellishments.
So, without further ado.. here is the Unicorn Pillow Pattern.
