UNIKOOSAS! Yes, these felted fringy boots are moonkoosas with a unicorn expansion pack! Everyone knows the most mystical creature to return to the planet has been the unicorn. A wave of their horn can split darkness in an instant. It is said that everyone has a guardian unicorn. All you have to do is close your eyes, and ask their name. This pattern is homework for Care of Magical Creatures class in The Witch & Wizard Academy Primer Year 2.
PS. The shoe parts are knitted flat! You will be surprised at how easy they are, no heel turning in this class!
