Last year I had the pleasure of stepping out of my comfort zone (hello Amigurumi!) and design a Leaf Insect C2C Square as a part of the lovely Elimee Designs’ Beautiful Bug CAL. I was so excited to share it with you all, and it took all the willpower I had to keep it a secret until now

Leaf insects are known for their remarkable ability to mimic the appearance of leaves, not just in colour but also in shape and texture. This camouflage helps protect them from predators by blending in with their natural environment. Beyond their overall leaf shape, many leaf insects also feature “veins” that mimic those of real leaves, and some even have edges that appear “bitten” or weathered, enhancing their disguise. How cool is that!?

You’ll find the free chart for this leaf Insect square on my blog post linked above, but if you prefer to have all the instructions written out along with the rest of the squares for the full blanket, you can purchase the pattern here
