I hope that everyone had a fantastic weekend. I am so excited that I am finally getting a chance to post this unicorn blanket I made for Annabelle. After seeing that I crocheted/knitted both her sisters a blanket she requested I make her own as well. I had been wanted to try C2C crochet and figure this would be a good time. And because I am crazy I decided to make my own pattern up. So here it is. A free corner to corner crochet unicorn blanket pattern.
To start out you need to be familiar with how to C2C crochet. You can find so many tutorials on Pinterest, so I didn’t include one here.
MATERIALS
Size 8.00 mm (US 11) crochet hook
You will need the graph. I started off by making my pattern on graph paper, the was able to use excel to create a printable graph. Just don’t pay attention to the fact that the background color of my blanket doesn’t match what I actually did.
You will also need yarn. I tried my best to link the yarn I used, but as a threw out the labels, I am not 100% sure.
Yarn for mane: Two balls of Super Bulky Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn (10.5 oz, 220 yards)
Yarn for outline: Two balls of Super Bulky Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn (10.5 oz, 220 yards)
Yarn for unicorn body: Two balls of Super Bulky Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn (10.5 oz, 220 yards)
Yarn for eye: one ball of Super Bulky Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn- if you can find a small ball of yarn it would probably work.
Yarn for horn/nose: one ball of Super Bulky Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn (10.5 oz, 220 yards)
Crocheting the blanket
To read a C2C graph you will work from the bottom right corner to the top left corner. I wish I had a picture closer to the beginning but I don’t.
If you notice, I have a few balls of yarn that are the same color. Sometimes I found it much easier to pick up a new color of yarn rather than carrying that same strand of yarn throughout the work.
So basically you just keep on trucking.
It took me a while to get this done since I had to wait until the kids were in bed to lay the blanket out. It is much easier to work on if you lay the blanket part out on a flat surface.
I also found it super helpful to cross out the row (remember they are at a diagonal) after I finished one.
After all your hard work you will be rewarded!!
Also, it is very, very hard to take a picture of somewhat large blanket. The baby wanted in on the pictures.
As did the cat!
