Description
A bit back, I had to make a full sized alicorn plush for someone. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a single pattern online to fit my needs. So I ended up making one. I'd rather not see others struggle as much as I did in this, so I'm providing this basic pattern to all of you.
This pattern is free to use. Full sized download is to the side there. I only ask that you give me credit when using it, and pop a link in the comments with anything you made using it.
When I made the plush, it was about 19 inches tall. I've included a PosterRazored version here for your ease in printing a full sized one.
Instructions
Ok, so first things first. You have a sewing machine? Right? Good, life's going to be easy now.
So basics of this pattern. Where there are similarly named points (A, B, C, etc) those go together. For example, you'd line up the A's on the underbelly and main body part, then sew along the edge. The B's should naturally match up, as should the other letters on it.
Seam allowance is 1/2 inch. That is, how much extra material there is along the edge, and how far in you should sew.
BODY
Begin by sewing the individual leg pieces to the underbelly. Connect the bit left over from E-F once they're connected to the underbelly. Next, pin the underbelly and one set of legs to one side of the body. Sew all around, leaving space between the G's and stopping at F. Repeat on the other side. Next, sew the two body pieces together from F to the top unlabeled corner of the neck. For the final step, pin the hoof circles to the bottom of the legs, sewing around them. Trim any corners and the back leg hock (little jutty part), turn it out, and stuff.
HEAD
The head can seem complicated, but it's not bad once you get into it. Start with the darts. Simply pin those triangles together so the sides match, and sew right down the line. Clip them, and boom, you're done with the darts.
Next, we start on the ears. Begin by sewing two of the pieces together, leaving the inner edge between J and K open. Trim the edges, clip the top tip of the ear, and make several cuts along the J-K edge, then turn it out. Don't stuff it! Align J & K to the head, making sure the ear is on the wrong side (that is to say, on the inside of the head, as opposed to sticking out of it like you'd think it should). This is sort of an example. Do note you will have to clip the bottom edge by K. The cuts you put in earlier along J-K will help to spread it along the head curve. Pin and baste it on, a little short of your actual seam allowance. This will help to hide these ugly stitches later when we sew it all togehter. Repeat with the other ear.
Bring the two head pieces together, and sew them together from L-H, stopping just a bit short of the actual H point. Next, pin the center head piece to one edge of the main head. You may need to clip the center head around where the muzzle bends to get a clean line. Sew along the edge. There should be a bit of the center head hanging past I. This is normal and good. Repeat for the other side. Once that's done, flatten the nose down, and sew on the underside of H. Turn it inside out, stuff it, and you should be done. Now just align and sew onto the neck, making sure to go around at least twice (you don't want your head popping off!)
WINGS
The wings are probably the trickiest part. Begin by sewing the 4 large wing pieces together, followed by the small wing pieces. Turn them out, and lightly stuff the small pieces. Sew the wing lines into the large pieces, stuffing well as you go. Once that's set, place the small wing on top and sew on, following the small inner line indicated on there. It might be a bit thick, so careful going on that part. Once they're set, hand stitch them onto the body.
HORN
Incredibly simple. Sew the two horn pieces together, leaving the small bottom open. Sew the circular bottom on halfway, similar to how you did the hoof bottoms. Turn it out, stuff, and finish the stitch. There are several tutorials online on how to get a horn spiral. This is the one that worked best for me.

After it's set, simply hand stitch it on to the head.
