**Knitted Toy Unicorn with Baby Lace Blanket Pattern** Create a charming Knitted Toy Unicorn paired with an adorable Baby Lace Blanket, perfect for little ones! This delightful craft project features a movable head for the unicorn, adding an element of playfulness. The **finished size** of the blanket measures 11.81” x 11.81” (35 cm x 35 cm), making it an ideal snuggle companion for babies and toddlers alike. The unique knitting pattern is crafted in the round, which makes it a great challenge for **Advanced Beginner Knitters**, looking to improve their skills and create something special. ### Materials Needed To bring this enchanting project to life, you’ll need the following materials: - **4 double-pointed needles**: Choose a size suitable for your yarn weight. It’s recommended to use needles one or two sizes smaller than what the yarn label suggests to ensure a tightly knit, durable fabric. For this project, size 6 (4mm) needles are used for the blanket, while size 2.5 (3mm) needles are ideal for the unicorn. - **White melange yarn**: We recommend **Viola MADAME TRICOTE PARIS** (83.5% acrylic, 16.5% viscose, 400 meters/100 grams) for creating the blanket. - **White acrylic yarn**: Use **Kartopu "Flora"** (100% acrylic, 100g - 230m) for the unicorn's body to keep it soft and cuddly. - **Colored yarns**: Gather shades of yellow, light orange, blue, purple, violet, light green, and green. We suggest **Yarn NAKO Superlambs Special** (50% wool, 50% premium acrylic, 50g - 200m) to give your unicorn a vibrant look. - **Ivory acrylic yarn**: Also use **Kartopu "Flora"** (100% acrylic, 100g - 230m) for crafting the unicorn's magical horn. - **Yarn needle**: Essential for weaving in ends and seaming parts together. - **Stitch holder**: Handy for keeping your stitches organized as you work. ### Suggested Substitute Yarns If you're looking for alternative yarn options, we provide a list of suggested substitute yarns below to help you find the perfect match for your project.
