US English pattern by Janine Holmes at Moji-Moji Design.

As her name suggests, Curlicue has a wonderfully curly mane and tail. Accented with pretty crocheted flowers, she's the talk of the town, and when she flexes her wings and takes flight all the other unicorns look up to the sky with admiration as she flits about from cloud to cloud. It's true that you don't find many winged unicorns in the wild, but they do exist. So next time someone tells you unicorns can't fly, just tell them about Curlicue, or better still, make one for them!

Curlicue's mane looks great made up in a variety of different yarns. Try a sparkly or a variegated type for fun effects. The embroidery stitches for the flowers are fully explained with photos.

Curlicue can also be made without the horn and wings to create a not so mythical but equally magical looking horse.

Stitches used: chain, slip stitch, single crochet, increase, (invisible) decrease, back loops only, french knot
