Pattern for a Leaf Bug (Phyllium) blanket. (please note that this is not large enough to be a normal blanket (there is a banana for scale in one of the pictures). Mine came out 4 1/2 feet wide by 3 feet tall, but this will vary based on how tight your stitching is and the type of yarn you use. This pattern can be repeated and sewn together or it can be combined with other patterns that are 150 stitches wide. ---Most of my patterns are 150 stitches wide---

This pattern can be made with the type of yarn of your choice. I crocheted the example with Red Heart’s Super saver yarn (which is a medium weight yarn) and used a crochet hook size J (6.00MM).
It is 150 stitches wide x 82 stitches tall.

I would recommend getting two skeins of each color except the dark green, you will only need one skein for that. (Based on skeins with 364 yards of yarn)

It is all single stitch crochet. In order to make this blanket you will need to know how to carry yarn (there are great youtube videos that can teach you how to do the Tapestry Crochet Technique. I highly recommend trying a small simple pattern to practice carrying yarn before attempting a larger project. Carrying yarn gets more difficult as you add more colors, at only 3 colors this one is relatively simple.

Once you have purchased this pattern a text document that like this (below) will automatically download to you. If you have any trouble receiving it message me and I will have it e-mailed to you in no time. This pattern also comes with a Graph!

1.) A-150
2.) A-30, B-20, A-10, B-50
3….

The #’s are for each row
The letters are for different colors. (A = Tan, B = Green, C = Dark Green)
(so the above pattern would have the first row be 150 stitches of color A. 2nd row would have 30 stitches of color A followed by 20 stitches of color B followed by 10 stitches of color A and so on….)

I make custom patterns as well. If you are interested in a pattern that does not exist message me and we can talk about having one custom designed for you.
