The Cuddle Up Unicorn Blanket features the corner to corner stitch, super cozy styling - and a spiral horn ready for any little one’s fairy tale dreams.

The corner to corner stitch (aka C2C or diagonal box stitch) is one of the most relaxing stitch patterns out there, and it makes this pattern as simple as possible - and fun for both the maker and the recipient.

When I was designing the Cuddle Up Unicorn Blanket, I made the 3/4 year old size, using two skeins of Lion Brand Pound of Love, one Bubblegum, and one Lavender. I had intended to add a mane with the Lavender color, but talking to the little girls in my life, they preferred it without! So I’ve got lots of leftover purple yarn… and a recommendation!

If you want to add a mane (or have a use for more yarn - and don’t we all??), then I’d go with the two balls of Pound of Love. But if you prefer to leave it off, as shown here, you can substitute one ball of Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Lilac for the Lavender - or whatever color you choose!
