Install the eyes between rounds 6 and 7 so that the distance between the outer edges of the eyes is 6-8 sc (the distance between the pupils is 10-12 sc). If the eye attachments are tight, create a face indent by pulling the yarn through the area near the nose. You can learn how to do this in the “Assembling the Toy” section.

Assembling the Unicorn
**Step
1**: Attach the head to the body. Using a long thread, sew the head onto the neck area. Be sure to leave space for the tail attachment.
Step 2: Attach the ears symmetrically to the sides of the head.
Step 3: Attach the horn to the forehead, between the eyes.
Step 4: Attach the tail to the back of the body.
Step 5: Position the mane along the back of the head and body, then sew it into place.
