Unicorn Utopia – Crochet pattern

by

This magical blanket is baby size but I am tempted to make 4 of these and join them together to make a super-duper magical crochet unicorn floor rug for my daughter’s room. She isn’t into unicorns anymore but I won’t let that stop me.

The finished blanket measures 32″ X 32″, but you can make it any size you like.

Materials you will need:
Light/Medium (3/4) weight yarn – Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash shown
Light (3) weight yarn – a lighter weight yarn used for the unicorn horns only
Size B (2.25mm), I (5.5mm), and J (6.0mm) crochet hooks
Polyester fiberfill (optional)
Fabric glue/fray check (optional)
Tapestry needle

Pattern is written in English using standard American terms with step-by-step instructions and a HUGE amount of photos to help guide your hook to completion.  You can purchase this magical unicorn blanket pattern here via Etsy.

Crochet Colourful Doily Pillow – Bright, Easy, and a Great Scrap Yarn Project

This is a fun little crochet home decor project with plenty of color and texture. The idea is simple: crochet a round doily using different colors in each round, then attach it to a pillow case for a bright, handmade finish. The materials list is very basic too — just crochet yarn or thread, a hook, scissors, a pillow case, and a hot glue gun.

What I like about this one is that it feels very approachable. The pattern sticks to basic stitches like double crochet, chain, and slip stitch, and each round builds on the last with easy color changes. The tutorial even encourages you to get creative and change the pattern as you go, which makes it feel more relaxed and forgiving than a super strict doily pattern.

It is also a good stash-buster, especially if you have random bits of crochet cotton or thread hanging around. You can stop when the doily reaches the size you need, then attach it to the front of a pillow case, so there is plenty of room to customize the look.

The only part some crafters may side-eye a little is the hot glue gun step. Even in the comments, readers mention they would rather stitch the doily onto the pillow by hand so it stays softer and can be salvaged later. Honestly, I agree — I’d probably sew it on too.

Overall, this is a cheerful, beginner-friendly crochet pillow idea that is more about creativity than precision. If you enjoy easy crochet decor projects with a colorful handmade feel, this one is a sweet weekend make.
