This blanket is available as a single pattern or as part of the For the Love of Stories eBook Vol. 2 - Blankets. Unfortunately, prior purchases cannot be credited toward the purchase of the eBook.

This blanket is inspired by the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Worked from the center out, the bug eyes pattern grows toward a hungry caterpillar edging. Keep true to the hungry caterpillar colors, combine stash yarns, choose a completely different color palette, or work this blanket in a single color to make this your own!
