About The Knit Unicorn Baby Outfit Pattern
This is a two-part knit unicorn baby outfit. Part one is a super cute knit romper. It serves as not just a diaper cover but a full outfit for your little one. It’s a simple design that you could actually create without the unicorn tail just as a day wearable. Of course, that long yarn fringe tail is a lot of fun to create.
You’ll use similar yarn fringe on the knit unicorn hat to create the unicorn’s mane of hair. The hat also includes ears, a decorative flower, and the critical detail of a unicorn horn. The hat ties on at the bottom, keeping it secure on baby’s head.
