Sleeping Peach Unicorn Blanket Knitting Pattern

What is Being Made

The Sleeping Peach Unicorn Blanket is a charming knitted throw blanket designed by Peach.Unicorn. This intermediate-level knitting project creates a decorative blanket featuring a sleeping unicorn motif, combining multiple soft pastel colors including pale blue, lemon yellow, soft peach, white, and little mouse gray tones. The finished piece is suitable for use as a cozy throw or decorative blanket.

Knitting Techniques Used

This pattern incorporates the bobble stitch as a primary technique, which creates textured, three-dimensional elements throughout the blanket design. The bobble stitch technique is demonstrated in detail in Video 4 of the Peach.Unicorn Designs knitting video section, providing visual guidance for crafting these decorative raised stitches. The combination of bobble stitch work with standard knitting creates visual interest and dimension in the finished blanket.

Stitches Used

• Knit Stitch (k) - The foundational stitch used throughout the blanket construction
• Bobble Stitch - A textured stitch technique used to create the dimensional elements of the unicorn design and overall blanket texture
