UNICORN

This is a pattern for a unicorn that I designed a few years ago and never, until now, have typed up.  What prompted me to do it is being asked by a co-worker if I had a unicorn pattern.  Of course, I said yes.  The unicorn can be made in any combination of colors.  The one in the picture is the one my co-worker asked for.
