Winged Unicorn Amigurumi, Aile, at Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland, famous for its numerous waterfalls along the cliffs
While I was on my vacation to Switzerland a few weeks ago, my new lovely creation was traveling along with us. “Aile” the Winged Unicorn Amigurumi followed me all the way to explore the breathtaking country bursting with snow-capped alp and beautiful sceneries. As mentioned when I previewed Aile in Craft Passion’s Facebook Page, the crochet pattern will be shared soon after I come back from my trip. Here it is, Aile the Winged Unicorn Amigurumi Pattern.

At Grindelwald, Switzerland
Aile is not an ordinary Unicorn Amigurumi, it has wings on its back hence the name Winged Unicorn Amigurumi, and Aile is the French word for wing. Winged Unicorn has no specific name, but in some literature and media, it has been referred to as an Alicorn (source). As a legendary creature in the medieval times, the unicorn with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead is a symbol of purity, grace, fantasy and rarity that lives in the wild woods. The horn of the unicorn was said to have the magical power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness.
At Männlinchen, Switzerland
Aile the Winged Unicorn Amigurumi is crochet from 8 ply acrylic yarn using a 2.5mm hook, peach pink for the body, white for wings, khaki for palms, feet, and horns, with rainbow color mane and tail. It is 15″ tall, total height in standing position, a decent size as a huggable softie.

You may adapt Aile Winged Unicorn Amigurumi pattern by turning it to a Unicorn Amigurumi or a Pegasus Amigurumi or a horse Amigurumi. Omit Wings for a Unicorn. Similar applies to Pegasus, void horn for a Pegasus and crochet the whole thing is white. Ditto, leave out wings and horn for a horse. Isn’t it easy? For ease of reference, I will develop a separate pattern for a different type of species from the Equidae family. Stay tuned for all the upcoming amigurumi pattern.

More Details on how to crochet the Winged Unicorn Amigurumi
Sew the horn and ears to the head.
By using an erasable marker, draft an outline for the eyes. Use dimension given as a guideline, adjust the position to suit your unicorn.
Embroider the eyes with black yarn and a darning needle in stem stitch.
Wrap the rainbow color yarn on a card stock (either 6″ or 12″), cut out 100 strips of 12″ rainbow yarns.
The winged unicorn is ready to assemble after all the parts have crocheted.
Sew head to the body, followed by arms, feet, and wings.
This is how the wings are attached to the body.
Mark the position of the mane. It is 4 stitches wide at the center of the head, starting from the back of the horn all the way down to the back of the head.
This picture shows how to fasten the yarn strips to make the mane. Note that only the stitches between the top and the bottom row are fastened.
This is how the mane looks like after 5 rows.
Continue to fasten until you have done more than half of the head.The 3.5 rows at the front part are the fringe of the unicorn.
Fasten the tail in the same manner as the mane. However, if you want a fuller tail like shown in the picture, fasten more strips to the crochet stitches.
The back of the unicorn amigurumi.
The side of the unicorn amigurumi.
You may leave the mane un-combed or you may roll it up as shown in the picture. Make a few stitches to secure the mane in place.
Make a few stitches to secure the fringe in place.
Decorate the fringe with a small flower. Crochet pattern of the small flower can be found here.Here is Aile, the Winged Unicorn Amigurumi, sitting at the hilltop in front of a village at the base of Mont Eiger, Switzerland.
Aile enjoys the cold breezy day at Männlichen, sitting on the grass that bulbing crocus flowers after the snow melted.
Hope to see you crocheting your Aile soon. Happy crochet!
THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I made for my daughter. She loves it! Amazing!
Hola, soy de Argentina y voy a intentar hacer el unicornio (es bellĂsimo)…
Pero ya en la primer ronda no la entiendo: ÂżPor quĂ© no empieza anillo mágico? (Ya habĂa aprendido a hacerlo)
Me podrĂa explicar mejor la primer ronda por favor…
Hi, I’m from Argentina and I’m going to try to make the unicorn (it’s beautiful).
But in the first round I don’t understand it: Why doesn’t a magic ring begin? (I had already learned to do it)
Could you explain better the first round please …
Hi Haydee, the base is not a round base, instead, it is an oval shape. That explained why it isn’t started with a magic ring.
Hello, i love your unicorn, I’m trying to do it but I don’t understand what the pattern means when it goes like this ex.:Round 4: Inc, sc 8, [Inc, sc] 2 times, Inc, sc 8, [Inc, sc] 2 times. {32} i don´t understand what to do, do i have to make 1 inc +8 sc [?] for 2 times then 1 inc, 8sc 2 times more? {32 what it means} i wish you can help me please. Thanks again for the pattern it is beautiful. bye!
The rounds read like this, 2 sc in the first stitch, then 1 sc in each stitch for the next 8 stitches, repeat 2 times on the following: 2 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next stitch. The number inside the {} bracket is the total number stitches in this round. I hope after you understand this pattern format, you can figure out the rest of the pattern.
May I know the weight of the yarn you used?
I used 8 ply yarn from an Australian brand, equivalent to light DK yarn in USA Brand.
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern! As a beginner, I succeeded in making it due to your detailed instructions 🙂 I still need to improve on my assembling skills though!
Picture here.
Oh wow, Cheryl, your Aile is perfect. I can’t believe that you are a beginner in amigurumi, your work is amazing!!! Congratulations on your success, I am super excited to know this. Thanks for showing to us.
Omg, this is the most beautiful unicorn I have seen so far. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, hope you enjoy sewing it 🙂
Just lovely!!! Thank you so much for sharing your pattern!!
That unicorn is just simply perfect. Everyone love it, everyone want it ! With different colours is perfect for baby boy. Just love that pattern. Going to crochet a fox now!
thank you for sharing !
You are amazing !
Hi, I don’t seem to get row 13 on the body right. I have redone the body now my second time and somethings up.
I follow 28 Inc 30 Inc and 2 SC but I still have 4 stitches left on that round and I have made sure that every round is counted following the numbers of each round.
Could you please explain what I could be doing wrong?
I am not sure why you have 4 stitches left on Round 13, unless you have miscounted somewhere throughout your work. there is 2 stitches increment from Round 12 to Round 13, from 62 stitches to 64 stitches at Round 13. At the beginning of Round 13, sc 28 will take up 28 stitches on Round 12, followed by an increment that will take up 1 stitch on Round 12, then sc 30 take up another 30 stitches, increment again will take up 1 stitch, Round 13 ends with 2 sc stitches that take up the final 2 stitches of Round 12. By doing the sum-up mathematically, the total stitches taken up on round 12 is 28+1+30+1+2 = 62 which matches the numbers shown in the pattern. As for the number of stitches at Round 13, it is 62+2=64 since there are 2 increment stitches at this round. The pattern is correct.
Kindly re-count again.
Your cute unicorn loves to show Switserland. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing crochet pattern.
Have a nice day, Margaret
