Rainbow Caterpillar

• Free

With only a few basic stitches you can knit this cute and colourful caterpillar. It is also a super project to use up odds and ends in your yarn stash. I used some beads for the eyes, but you can use anything you have in your craft box such as stick on wobbly eyes, buttons, or embroider in yarn instead. You will need to know how to cast on and off, knit, purl, work basic increases and decreases, knit stripes (change yarn at the end of the row) and sew seams. The pattern is written to be worked flat on straight needles to make it accessible to knitters of all abilities, but you can easily convert to knitting in the round if you prefer. If you know how to knit in the round you should be able to do so easily.
