Despicable Me-inspired Fluffy Unicorn Blanket
Who doesn’t love unicorns? I think every little girl loves the idea of beautiful magical creatures like unicorns. The quirky little Fluffy Unicorn C2C Crochet Afghan was inspired by the unicorn that Gru wins for Agnes in the movie Despicable Me. He’s—yes, I always think of this unicorn as male even though it has a bright pink mane, tail, and hooves—got a loveable face that just makes you want to hug him!
To make this cheerful blanket even more appealing, stitch the mane and tail in furry eyelash yarn. Then you can exclaim like Agnes, “It’s so fluffy, I’m gonna die!”
The Fluffy Unicorn Afghan is perfect for little girls and all Despicable Me lovers. It stitches up to approximately 52 inches wide X 46 inches long (when crocheted at the suggested gauge.) making it a great children’s or lap blanket. This pattern is only available in my Etsy shop SwishandStitchCrafts.
