Crochet Unicorn Horn Pattern/Video Tutorial

How to crochet a unicorn horn! I made a costume version for myself, and a small doll-sized version for my unicorn amigurumi doll. Find the pony doll I used for my unicorn here: https://youtu.be/1g9OAY6187M

This is the pattern for the costume version. The doll version is just the tip of the costume version. For that one, start with a chain of 8 instead of 24, and then only do the steps highlighted in blue. Video tutorial is available on  my youtube channel, and will be at the bottom of this page.

Costume Unicorn Horn Written Pattern

1. Ch 24 to create foundation ch. (24 sts total)
2. Ch 3 for 1^st st, into 3^rd ch from hk, tc 1. Then, around foundation ch, tc 30 more. Pull just made sts to bottom of ch as far as possible, bunching sts. Continue making progressively shorter sts toward top of horn: htc 32, then pull sts to bottom of foundation ch, bunching sts; dc 32, then pull sts to bottom of ch; hdc 32, then pull sts to bottom of ch; sc 32, bunching sts at bottom of ch, until entire ch is covered by sts and a spiral is formed (160 sts total)
3. Add a tip to the horn: ch 4, sl st in 2^nd ch from hk and rem 2 chs. Sl st around post of last sc on foundation ch to end work, cut off long tail of yarn.
4. Once spiral is made, use craft wire to keep the horn standing up: twist crocheted spiral around wire, so that wire is threaded through middle of coil. Start at top of horn, to make sure end of wire matches up with tip of horn. To keep spiral in place on wire, pin tip of horn to loop at end of wire. Then begin to twist yarn around wire. Once the wire is threaded through spiral, tighten coil around wire by twisting coil more tightly. At the bottom of the spiral, twist wire into a circle that matches circumference of bottom of horn. Use tail end of yarn to fasten wire in place, and to stitch over any remaining visible wire.
