Leave a long tail for sewing the head. Return to round 35, crochet in the front loops only:

  1. 36 sc
  2. 36 inc (72)
    3-5. 72 sc

Add a single sc. Ch 3, skip 1 sc, insert the hook into the second sc to form an arch. Continue this way until the end of the round. Crochet another round like this. Then, crochet around the edge with 3 sc in each arch.

Mane

Ch 16, place a marker in the 16th ch. Continue ch 30 more. Starting from the second ch from the hook, crochet 3 sc in each ch until you reach the marker. Slip stitch into the marked ch, remove the marker. Ch 30, crochet 3 sc in each ch until the end of the 16 ch.

Tail

The tail is crocheted similarly. Instead of 16 ch, ch 5. Instead of 30 ch, ch 20. If you find it inconvenient, you can crochet each spiral separately. For a longer mane, increase the number of ch.

Enjoy your new unicorn toy!
