Crochet Pattern – Unicorn Granny Square Blanket

by

I’ll be honest—I kinda thought the unicorn craze would have fizzled out by now. But nope! These magical creatures keep making a comeback, especially when it comes to baby gifts. And to be fair… they’re pretty irresistible when done right.

Recently, one of our readers reached out looking for the perfect crochet unicorn baby blanket for her new grandbaby. It took a little digging (because cute and doable patterns aren’t always easy to find), but we finally found one she loved!

This sweet design features colorful unicorn details that are whimsical without being over-the-top—perfect for modern nurseries or as a standout handmade baby shower gift. While this pattern was originally available for free on Ravelry, it’s no longer free from the designer. But the good news? It’s still available for purchase, and honestly, it’s worth every penny if you’re looking for that one magical make that’s sure to become an heirloom.

The Forest Valley Shawl – Crochet Pattern

This is one of those shawl patterns that feels instantly calming, even before you pick up a hook. The Forest Valley Shawl (After Party Pattern 23) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, has a very gentle, nature-inspired feel that really lives up to its name.

What I love about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls are beautiful but awkward to style; this one feels practical in the best way. It drapes naturally, sits nicely on the shoulders, and works just as well for everyday wear as it does for something a little dressier. It’s the sort of piece you grab when the air cools in the evening and you don’t want anything heavy.

From a crochet perspective, this is a lovely “slow and steady” project. The stitch pattern has enough variation to keep your interest, but it’s not overly complicated. It’s very much the kind of crochet you can sink into — the sort that lets your mind wander while your hands keep moving. Perfect for quiet afternoons or evening crochet sessions.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate territory. If you’re comfortable following a pattern and keeping your stitch count in check, you’ll enjoy this a lot. It’s also a great pattern for appreciating beautiful yarn — especially colourways that shift and flow, as the shawl really lets them shine.

Overall, the Forest Valley Shawl is one of those free crochet patterns that feels thoughtful and soothing. It’s wearable, relaxing to make, and finished with a look that feels timeless rather than trendy. If you enjoy shawls that are as comforting to crochet as they are to wear, this one is definitely worth bookmarking.
