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

Corner-to-corner crochet, also called C2C, is a method worked diagonally in small blocks made with chains and double crochet stitches. In this blanket, each unicorn animal panel is crocheted separately, then joined together to create the finished design.

Unicorn animal crochet blanket pattern instructions

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.
