Today is National Unicorn Day! Of course we had to celebrate with a unicorn themed pattern. Since my daughter loves my crochet hair elastics so much, I decided to make her a unicorn one for her to wear to school.

This pattern is very simple, and can be made with scraps of yarn leftover from other projects.
