It’s the most magical day of the year—Unicorn Day! And I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a brand-new, free knitting pattern that brings a little sparkle, a lot of joy, and a dash of rainbow magic straight to your can of choice.
Introducing the Unicorn Can Cozy!
This whimsical cozy is knit in the round (as always!) and features a unicorn horn you knit yourself using the included written instructions. The real fun starts after the knitting is done:
• Embroider a sweet little smile
• Sew on small buttons for nostrils or embroider them (I skipped this, but you could add it!)
• Sew on buttons for eyes and glue on googly eyes for extra personality
• Add a vibrant rainbow mane and a matching tail—yep, the tail goes opposite the mane on the cozy for the full unicorn experience!
It’s equal parts functional and fantastical—and it’s available now as a free download on my website!

Other Ways to Celebrate Unicorn Day
Looking to keep the unicorn vibes going? Here are a few more magical ideas to celebrate:
• Bake unicorn cupcakes: Think swirly pastel frosting, edible glitter, and cute little fondant horns!
• Make unicorn party mix: Use our recipe for Santa party mix. The easy swaps would be color-based—cover the Bugles with pastel chocolate, use pastel M&Ms, and finish with rainbow sprinkles!
• Dress the part: Rock your favorite unicorn tee, pastel accessories, or even a DIY horn headband.
• Unicorn crafts with the kids: From coloring pages to DIY paper plate unicorns, it’s the perfect excuse for a little glitter and glue.
• Make a unicorn-inspired drink: Blend up a rainbow smoothie or make a fizzy drink with food coloring and edible shimmer for extra sparkle.
• Host a mini unicorn party: Even if it’s just for yourself or your kids, set the scene with unicorn decorations, rainbow snacks, and a playlist of cheerful tunes.
Unicorn Day is all about joy, imagination, and a little bit of sparkle—and I hope this cozy brings a smile to your face and some rainbow magic to your day.
Tag me if you make one—I love seeing your versions! Until next time, stay magical!
