Watercolour (early 1900′s) by Elsa Beskow (Swedish, 1874 - 1953).

I think the translation of the title is something like ‘Sleep little child, it is still Winter.’

Nationalmuseum Stockholm 

Illustrated front cover and assorted colour illustrations taken from ‘New Rare and Beautiful Flowers’ (1889) flower catalogue from John Lewis Childs.

Floral Park, Queens, Co. N.Y.

U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Library.

here’s the pattern i made for it — for the legs just cut out a rectangle and sew the legs into it, if you cut out all the legs like that your machine will eat it lol

the purple stripes on the body section are just decorative lines to sew on to look more crustacean-y
