What is corner-to-corner crochet (C2C)?

Corner-to-corner crochet (also called C2C) is a technique where you crochet diagonally instead of in rows. The project is built using small blocks made with ch 3 + 3 dc, starting in one corner and growing diagonally until you reach the widest point, then decreasing to finish the opposite corner.

C2C is especially popular for crochet blankets because it works up quickly and makes color changes easy—perfect for fun panel designs like this C2C unicorn blanket.

• Uses C2C crochet, making color changes clean and easy to follow
• Features adorable unicorn animal designs that kids love
• Made with four panels, so the project feels manageable and organized
• Perfect size for baby and toddler blankets or a cozy kids throw
• Uses worsted weight yarn, which is easy to find and budget-friendly
• Includes clear construction steps for sewing panels and adding a border

Panel border (work on each panel before sewing)

This border creates clean edges for seaming the panels together and makes it easier to add the final blanket border.

Assembling the blanket

Sew your crochet unicorn animal panels together. Make sure they are facing the correct way. You can use locking stitch markers to hold the panels together.

Adding a border

Work this border after seaming all four panels together (and after the panel borders are complete) following the color sequence.

• Round 1 = pink
• Round 2 = yellow
• Round 3 = green
• Round 4 = blue

Rounds 1-4: Ch 2. Make 1 hdc in each stitch along the blanket edges. In each corner, make (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).

Finishing

Weave in your ends. Block if desired.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this unicorn animal crochet blanket bigger or smaller?
Yes. You can change the finished size by using a larger or smaller hook or by adding a wider border. Keep in mind this will change the overall dimensions.

Is this a beginner-friendly C2C crochet pattern?
This pattern is rated intermediate. If you already know how to work C2C crochet and manage color changes, you should feel comfortable following the instructions.

Do I have to use the same yarn colors?
No. Feel free to customize the colors to match your child’s room, favorite animals, or unicorn theme. Pastels, brights, or neutrals all work beautifully with this design.

How are the panels joined together?
The four C2C panels are sewn together using a yarn needle, then finished with a border worked around the entire blanket.

Is this blanket suitable for babies?
Yes. When made with soft worsted weight yarn and securely finished, this blanket is great for babies and young children. Always follow safe yarn and finishing practices for baby items.
