Entomology Collection Square: Death Head Hawk Moth

This pattern is for a mosaic square that can be used in other types of projects, such as blankets, pillows, satchel bags, table mats, etc.

Any yarn or hook will work, depending on the desired size of the finished square. I used yarn weight of 4 with a 5.5 hook, which creates a square of 13.5” x 13”.

You will need 2 colors of yarn - one for the background and one for the moth. You could also use variegated yarn for the moth (as in the sample image) or even for the or background, or use 2-3 colors of yarn to create a striped or gradient background. Totally up to you!

This is a great way to use up scraps! For projects using 2 colors, (one for the background & one for the featured design), you will need approximately 2 oz of each color for a worsted or aran (wt 4) type of yarn.

Pattern is in US crochet terms.
