Zebracorn pattern a crochet pattern by Enchanthread EASY

Unicorns are pretty magical, but ZEBRACORNS are the most magical unicorns of all! My hope is that you use this pattern to make a unique magical creature of your own. Zebra, horse, unicorn, zebracorn.. the sky is the limit! What will you create? I thought adding a varied stripe placement would best represent the very unique look of zebra stripes so the exact stripe placement is written for you but feel free to get creative with your stripes or use no stripes at all!

Stuff the arms firmly at the bottom and lighter as you work up the arm, I leave the top 1/4 of the arm unstuffed to allow the arms to lay relaxed by the side of the zebra.

Pinch the arm closed, making sure the flat part puts your color changes in the armpit. Stitch the end closed working under both loops of both sides weaving back and forth (do not whip stitch).

Place arms around row 35/36 of body angled forward on either side of the body. Lower corner should sit around Row 32.
