Unicorn Macaron (Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern & Video Tutorial)
Dear fellow crocheters,
I'm super excited to share with you my latest amigurumi design, the Unicorn Macaron!!
This sweet treat is so quick and easy to crochet, using basic crochet materials.
The Unicorn Macaron is a sweet, little floral amigurumi dessert that serves as a lovely gift or cute and cheery desk buddy. You can easily customize this fantasy macaroon using different yarn colors for the flowers, horn, cookie, and frosting filling. You can also add sprinkles, beads, or other embellishments to this popular French treat.
There are many holidays and occasions to use it as a present, such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, Christmas, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, bridesmaids gifts, and appreciation or thank you gifts!
If you'd like to make a plain Macaron, you can easily do so by crocheting only the Macaron Top and Bottom pieces to sew together, or head over to my French Macaron pattern page to follow the instructions there! It's super quick and easy, and you can make an assortment of macaron "flavors."
After you make the Unicorn Macaron, you might also be interested in crocheting these other delightfully sweet treats!
They're also free patterns on my blog!

~ FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS ~
- Attach 8mm eyes to the Macaron Top. Sew eyelashes using black yarn & a yarn needle.
- Lightly stuff the horn before sewing it on the Macaron Top.
- Sew ears to sides of the horn.
- Arrange the flowers on the Macaron Top and sew them down.
- Sew Top and Bottom pieces together. (I did so by going into the unworked back loops of the Top and the third loop of the Bottom.) STUFF your Macaron before sewing it up completely!
- Lastly, add blush to the cheeks and inside of the ears using blush powder and a q-tip. Click here for the video tutorial on adding blush.
