Ever since I started designing baby blankets I have had requests for a unicorn. I finally got round to it.

The blanket shown was made using white Baby Sparkle Super Soft DK1 as the light colour and Argyll Ziggy DK as the dark colour. It used less than 600 metres of each. You can use any yarn although a different yarn might change the overall dimensions of the blanket.

Illusion knitting is very easy to do. If you can knit stripes you can do it.

The pattern includes three different versions of the chart - one on a single page, another split into four sections and the third for use on hand-held devices.


  1. I would not recommend this sparkly yarn for a very small baby. It is not a problem for a slightly older child.
