Navy Unicorn Beanie with Flair

Acrylic holds color beautifully. As a yarn it feels soft and cozy, so it is a favorite for beanies or headbands, and it keeps baby and children's dresses comfy and colorful. As a rigid material it brings a light, playful look to clocks and cake decorating supplies.

To keep acrylic items looking nice, wash yarn pieces gently and let them air dry, and wipe rigid pieces with a soft cloth. A little care goes a long way, and since each item is a bit different, always follow any care label that comes with your item.

Shopping for adults is all about fit and how you will actually use the item. A relaxed tee or hoodie works for lounging, while pajamas and socks bring cozy unicorn magic to quiet evenings. Headbands and hats are easy ways to add a playful touch to any outfit.

• Check the fit you prefer, from relaxed to closer cut.
• Think about where you will wear it, at home or out and about.
• Choose fabrics that feel good against your skin.

A unicorn piece for grown-ups also makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who loves a little whimsy.

Choosing for teens is all about fit and how they will actually use the piece. Think about whether they want something relaxed or more fitted, and how easy it is to put on and wear through a busy day. For jewelry, like necklaces or earrings, a simple clasp and a length that sits well with everyday outfits go a long way. Soft fabrics and easy layers tend to get worn again and again, whether it is a tee for school or a gift for a birthday.
