Not really a pattern, more a guideline! But I just made a really quick, cute and easy baby blanket.
Using an I-9 (5.5mm) hook and a medium weight wool (worsted/aran)
Make an 18 round granny square.
Make a 6 round half granny square
Position the half granny at the corner of the large granny square. You may find it helpful to pin it in place. If you do not want to add a decorative edging to the blanket simply slip stitch together the outside edges of the half granny and the large granny square. Leave the bottom edge unattached to form hood!
To edge blanket:
7dc in ch1sp, sc in center dc around.
Personally I like to edge the bottom of the hood also!

Today i finished making a mini free spirit doll with an outfit to give as a birthday gift to one of my daughters nursery friends.
She's not so mini though. Shes made with worsted weight yarn on an I hook and her clothes are DK weight on an E hook so shes actually about 9/10 inches tall.
I thought i'd share her with you.

Repeat rows 10-15 until your caterpillar has the amount of segments that you want.
(skip round 15 on the final segment)
Fasten off, thread end through the stitches of the final round and pull tight.
Tie off.
If you'd like to make your caterpillar poseable you could thread a pipecleaner through the segments.
