Create your very own Hungry Caterpillar with this delightful crochet pattern! 🧶
Can be made stuffed or unstuffed.
he is approximately 58cm long… he’s big so he fits all the food.
If you make the unstuffed version, I’d recommend going up 1mm on your hook and using 2 strands for the apple, pears, strawberries, plums and oranges. they are made smaller to fit into the stuffed version.
** Please note, the main body is worked using 3 strands of DK yarn together as a single stand **
Pattern tested unstuffed version shown in photos.
All food & caterpillar patterns included.
Takes about 40 - 60 hours to complete.
Actual amounts included as well as full balls.
Tension, & yarn meters vital for sizing & yarn used.
If making the unstuffed version, and you’d like bigger apple, pears, plums, strawberries and oranges, use 2 strands of yarn, and a 4mm hook.
*** inner sections, sections 3-7, I added a round 1 increase… ignore it in all those sections, you already have the 50 sts. It was only in section 2 ***
