Unicorn Headphone Knit Wrap Pattern

January 14, 2021 by Briana Kepner

Unicorn Knit Headphones

The unicorn trend is still hanging on, and I am so happy about that. I mean, if you can make a Unicorn Headphone Knit Wrap Pattern, you do it, right?! This would also be great for kids who believe in the magical sparkle of unicorns and dream big.

I've created a lot of unicorn patterns in crochet and knit. They seem to keep happening. I’ll be sitting on the couch, having a cup of coffee, thinking of my next design, and for some reason, I just keep navigating towards unicorns.

So why are we so obsessed with unicorns? I gained some insight from Sarah Laskow’s book The Very Short, Entirely True History of Unicorns. 

Her book introduces us to the real and factual ways people have talked about these creatures through time. And when asked what was most interesting she said:

“One of the things that stood out the most to me when reading it is how myths of this single-horned creature existed all around the world in all these different cultures.”

Unicorn Headphone Knit Wrap Pattern Notes:

Rock out in style with this unicorn detachable knit headphone cover. Kids will love it but you don’t have to be a kid to wear it and add a bit of sparkle to your music. Even when I’m listening to a serious podcast, this lightens my day by adding some flair.

Most of the pattern is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds.

Increasing to 5 sts: (knit in the front and the back of the stitch) twice, and then knit into the front of the stitch one more time, take off left-hand needle. Increased from 1 stitch to 5.

Assembly:

Please note, images are shown in crochet but apply to the same assembly knit instructions. Attach Velcro to each long side of the base on opposite sides. If using a self-adhesive Velcro, it’s still recommended stitching the Velcro to the base for durability. Putting the Velcro on first will help with placing the rest of the pieces.

Unicorn Horn:

Wrap the base piece around your headphones. Stuff horn with fiberfill, and place the horn on the center and stitch into place.

Using the second strand of yellow yarn, attach at the base, and wrap around the horn to create a swirl look—secure strand and weave in ends at the top.

Ears:

Stitch ears in place on either side of the horn. To add some dimension to the ears, pinch the center at the base.

Flowers & Leaves:

Stitch the three flowers in front of the horn and add leaves where desired. Weave in all ends and then be as fabulous as a unicorn!

Hi! I'm Briana K

Hello, my fellow crafters!
I feel we are all natural-born artists nourishing our talents throughout our entire lives.

I've been fortunate enough to have found a home in the fiber arts community where my passions for crochet, knit, and cross stitch can grow.

I'm a Florida girl for the past decade, but before that, I lived in the Rocky Mountains.
While I love nature and hiking, I've grown extremely fond of the sunny beaches. Read More…
