What a great idea! A cuddly, warm blanket your child or yourself can snuggle in and then it folds into a decorative rainbow pillow.
Suits boys and girls alike and would look bright and happy displayed in any home. Made with super chunky (super bulky / #6) yarn, this blanket is warm and soft and works up in no time.
Why is it a 2in1 Hooded Rainbow Unicorn Blanket?
Just like my other animal hooded blankets, the unicorn version acts as a fun blanket, complete with mittens and a hood, and a decoration for the room.
It is a blanket that keeps your child or yourself snug and cozy.
When you’re not using it, fold it back and it instantly transforms into a cute unicorn cushion that you can rest on the armchair or sofa.
The unicorn blanket will make a wonderful Christmas present or birthday gift!
This rainbow-colored hooded blanket was designed to fit into a magical-themed decorated room and comes in two sizes for children and adults.
It will make a wonderful Christmas present or birthday gift for your loved ones, you can adjust the size of the blanket and colors however you want to suit your taste and decor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I am stuck on this pattern, can you help?
Every pattern you purchase from my shop comes with help and support. I will help you get unstuck and finish your project, so you can buy with confidence and try something new.
If you are completely new to crocheting, I recommend starting with beginner patterns and build up your confidence, pay attention to the skill level of my patterns and buy only if you are already at that level.
NOTE: The free version of this pattern does not come with the same help, just because it’s not fair on those who support me and bought this pattern.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t contact me if there is a mistake or something unclear with this pattern, it simply means that you will need to learn the stitches, the techniques and learn how to read a pattern on your own.
You can contact me by messaging me on my Facebook page, Crafting Happiness or by messaging me on Instagram.
Can I crochet this blanket using aran yarn (worsted yarn #4) ?
Yes you can! The body parts will come out a little larger than my own, but still in the same shape, use a smaller hook than recommended for aran yarn to keep the size smaller. The blanket can be adjusted by simply crocheting more rounds.
Do I have to use the same yarn brand as you to get the same result?
No, you don’t. You can use any brand you like, but pay attention to the yardage, different brands have different yardage. Here is a list of alternative yarns I recommend.
Can I change the size of the blanket?
Yes, you can. Each pattern can be adjusted by simply changing the number of rounds you make.
Can I sell items made with your pattern?
Yes, you can. Please check the copyright section for more details.
