Unicorn embroidery designs
Unicorn embroidery designs with flowing rainbow manes, sparkly horns and blush cheeks, from a simple unicorn head to a full rainbow unicorn. The free and premium files come as PES, JEF, DST, VP3 and EXP.
On a child's T-shirt, center the head about three finger widths below the neckline so it does not sit too low.

These unicorn embroidery designs mix pastel and bright: manes in rainbow or soft pastel shades, horns in gold or lemon, white faces with blush cheeks, all held together by the dark satin outline. A unicorn head is a compact motif for small items, while the premium rainbow unicorn is a fuller piece with more colors and details.
Typical projects are kids' T-shirts and hoodies, birthday shirts, backpacks, sleepover pillowcases and cushions. On tees and hoodies, stitch over a cut-away with a ballpoint needle; on a cotton pillowcase a tear-away is enough.
Match the size to the item: 70 mm for a pocket or a pencil case, 95 mm for a child's T-shirt front, 125 mm for a cushion. Pair the unicorns with rainbow designs or with birthday designs for a party shirt.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a unicorn horn sparkle?
Sew the horn's color stop with a metallic or holographic thread instead of the regular one. Use a metallic needle (size 80/12 or 90/14), lower the speed and place the spool on a thread stand or vertical pin. Stitch a test on scrap fabric first, because special threads behave differently on every machine.
Which fabric colors work best for pastel unicorn designs?
White, cream, light gray and denim blue make pastel manes stand out. On pale pink or lilac fabric, soft fills can blend in, so either choose a stronger fabric color or sew the mane in brighter shades from your thread box.
