This is the pattern for a caterpillar appliqué. I do have this pattern available for free on my website if you would prefer that option. The link is down below, but I’ve made it available for people to download as well for $1 on Ravelry.

There is also a video tutorial for the pattern available on my YouTube channel at Crochet Caterpillar Tutorial.

I’ve used 2 ply cotton and a 1mm crochet hook but you can use different sizes depending on what you’re most comfortable with.

• Crochet cotton or wool, I used Scheepjes Maxi Sugar Rush or Maxi Sweet Treat 2 ply crochet cotton colours (412) Forest Green, (606) Grass Green, (115) Hot Red and a tiny bit of (106) Snow White and (110) Black.

• A crochet hook, I used a 1mm hook.

• Scissors.

• Darning needle to weave in ends.

• Sewing thread and needle to stitch the caterpillar together.
