About This Phone Stand Horse Unicorn Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a phone stand in the shape of a horse or unicorn with a weighted, stable body and cute removable tail parts. The instructions include all pieces: arms (front legs), feet (hind legs), tail parts, mane parts, ears, jaw, pockets, and the main body. You will attach pieces directly while crocheting the body to make assembly smooth and secure. The pattern uses DK or two strands of sport yarn and a 3.0 mm hook for the samples shown.

Why You'll Love This Phone Stand Horse Unicorn Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines playful design with practical function β€” a phone stand that doubles as a cute amigurumi. I enjoyed designing the modular tail parts and pockets so you can personalize the look and balance of the figure. The pattern encourages building skills like crocheting in front/back loops and attaching parts as you go. I find the step-by-step rounds and photos make the shaping approachable and fun to follow. It always feels rewarding to see the character come together as you work each section.

Switch Things Up

I love how easily you can customize this pattern by changing colors β€” use pastel palettes for a soft unicorn, or realistic browns for a classic horse.

To make a mini keychain version, swap to fingering weight yarn and a smaller hook; conversely use bulky yarn and bigger hooks for a chunky, cuddly stand.

I often swap the mane colors or make the mane-parts in variegated yarn for a textured look that stands out from the body.

Try embroidering different facial expressions: moving the eye placement or changing mouth stitching gives each figure a new personality before assembly.

Instead of a heavy bag, you can sew a small felt pocket into the base and fill it with metal washers for a flat weight option that doesn’t shift.

You can replace single crochet pockets with tiny sewn fabric pockets for added contrast and durability if you plan to store small metal objects inside.

I sometimes add a ribbon collar or a tiny crocheted scarf for a seasonal touch β€” these small accessories are sewn on after all ends are woven in.

To make the horn removable for storage, sew a short loop on the horn base and attach with a button or small snap to the head so it can be detached when not desired.

If you want posable arms, thread a thin floral wire through the arm before stuffing and shape it once the ends are woven in β€” this gives display flexibility.

Consider making a whole set in different sizes and colors to create a friendly family of stands; they also make sweet handmade gifts for craft markets and holiday stalls.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

βœ— Skipping stitch markers across shaping rounds causes you to lose track of increase/decrease positions; always mark the start of the round and any special stitches to maintain correct stitch counts. βœ— Forgetting to stuff gradually leads to lumpy or misshapen limbs and body; stuff in small amounts while shaping and ensure the underside of hooves/feet stays flat. βœ— Not securing heavy filling in a freezer bag can shift the weight inside the body; place your heavy filling in a small sealed bag and insert it before finishing the body to keep the base stable. βœ— Changing yarn weight without adjusting hook will affect size and fit for phones; if you change yarn weight adjust your hook size and be prepared for a different finished measurement. βœ— Working too loosely will allow stuffing to show through; use a slightly tighter tension or a smaller hook than recommended to ensure the stuffing cannot be seen.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the first arm to the body during round 10 by placing the hoof's underside against the work and crocheting sc through the hoof's front loops and the body stitches to secure it. Use sc in next 4 stitch-pairs for a firm join.
  • Position and crochet the feet to the front of the body in round 10 with sc in next 5 stitch-pairs each; place toes pointing towards the magic ring. Ensure spacing matches the pattern instructions for balance.
  • Secure tail-parts by guiding the prepared yarn ends through the body between rounds 3 & 4 and out between rounds 8 & 9; during rounds 11-13 crochet tail parts to the body with sc in next 4 stitch-pairs and tie yarn-ends securely on the inside later.
  • Crochet the pockets inside the body in rounds 18-19 by placing pockets inside and crocheting sc through body stitches and pocket stitches; partially attach each pocket with sc in next 7 stitch-pairs and finish on the following round.
  • Crochet the jaw to the body in round 30 by aligning its marked stitches with the body's marked stitches and working sc in stitch-pairs to sew it on; leave markers until the next round and then continue working around the body.
  • Attach mane-parts in rounds 37-38 by crocheting each mane-part on with sc in specified stitch-pairs; mark nostril positions with additional markers as instructed in round 36.
  • After crocheting ends of arms and tail parts, weave in all yarn ends neatly on the inside, secure heavy stuffing bag in place and check the stability of the base before final finishing.

Important Notes

  • πŸ’‘Use stitch markers for the start of each round and for special stitches to keep track of increases and decreases accurately.
  • πŸ’‘Stuff the hooves and feet lightly and keep the undersides flat so the phone stand remains stable and balanced.
  • πŸ’‘Place the heavy filling in a sealed small freezer bag and insert it into the body's front before filling with soft stuffing for extra stability.
  • πŸ’‘When closing openings by flattening, keep the side-stitches unworked and crochet the specified number of stitch-pairs to create a neat seam.
  • πŸ’‘Weave in yarn-ends on the inside as you go to avoid bulky knots on the outside and to keep tail and mane yarn-ends accessible until final placement.

This lovable phone stand horse/unicorn is both functional and adorable, perfect for desks and gift-giving. It combines thoughtful shaping, removable tail parts, and optional pockets to make a playful and practical amigurumi. Enjoy customizing colors and mane styles to create your own unique character. 🧢🧡

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

With the recommended DK yarn (or two strands of sport) and a 3.0 mm hook the finished figure measures approximately 15 cm wide and 17 cm tall (without horn).

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, but changing yarn weight will affect final size and phone fit; use appropriate hook sizes and consider that lighter yarn makes a smaller figure while heavier yarn makes it taller.

Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?

This pattern is rated intermediate and requires familiarity with single crochet, increases, invisible decreases, crocheting in continuous rounds, working in the front/back loops, and basic assembly techniques.

How long does this project typically take to complete?

Most crocheters complete this project in 5-7 hours, though time varies by experience level, color changes, and whether you make all optional mane/tail parts.
