Crochet Unicorn Pattern

by

This Crochet pattern is for a Unicorn soft toy. I keep thinking that Unicorns are diminishing in popularity but then comes along another round of little girls and boys who think they are magical and cute. Personally I have done the whole Unicorn and crochet thing, I have decided I am not making anymore Unciorn themed items ever again, not even if you paid me. Okay maybe if you paid me good money. I also refuse to crochet any more Yoda dolls. This Crochet pattern is available here. 

 

We love our Unicorn parties around here so much that we decided to create our own DIY Unicorn Party  Pinterest board. Which means we have literally 100’s of our favorite Unicorn ideas, party decorations, Unicorn cakes and other Unicorn tutorials and crafts all in one spot. You can check them all out here DIY Party Ideas – Unicorn.  Or check out these Unicorn Crafts

Free Loving Life Crochet Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern

I do love a crochet blanket pattern that looks cheerful without feeling overcomplicated, and the Free Loving Life Crochet Blanket Pattern from Mary Maxim definitely has that bright, happy feel. It’s offered as a free download on their site, which is always a nice little bonus when you’re in the mood to start something new without first talking yourself into another paid pattern.

This pattern uses Caron All Day Cotton yarn and a 5 mm H-8 crochet hook, so straight away it feels like the kind of blanket project that would have a nice soft cotton finish rather than a heavy winter-afghan feel. Mary Maxim lists multiple colour combinations for the yarn bundle suggestions, including combinations like Grass Green and Bermuda Teal, Eyes Blue and Watermelon, along with White, which gives you a pretty good hint that this design is meant to be colourful and fresh.

What caught my eye most is that it looks like the sort of project that would suit crocheters who enjoy blanket making but want something a little more lively than plain stripes or the usual neutral throws. Sometimes you want a blanket that looks like it belongs on a couch in a happy craft-filled home, not one that disappears into the furniture. This one feels like it would bring a bit of personality. That last part is my impression based on the colourway suggestions and the product presentation on the page.

I also like that Mary Maxim has grouped it under their Free Crochet Patterns section, which makes it easy to see this as an accessible project for everyday crocheters who are browsing for their next make. It is listed as pattern FP6097, and at the time I checked, the page showed no reviews yet, so this may be one of those patterns you get to try before everyone else starts pinning it all over the place.

My overall take? If you enjoy free crochet blanket patterns, bright cotton yarn projects, and blankets that feel a little bit fun and uplifting, this one is worth downloading and having a look at. It has that easy “ooh, that would look lovely draped over a chair” appeal, and honestly, those are often the patterns that jump the queue ahead of all the sensible ones.
