Colin the Caterpillar Cake Amigurumi Crochet Pattern… and Friends!

Meet the gang of 6 caterpillar cakes in amigurumi crochet form. These cheeky grins have UK social media gripped in suspense. We have unashamedly jumped on the bandwagon to bring you our low fat, fun packed homage to this tasty supermarket court case.

Marks & Spencer have taken Aldi to court claiming that M&S invented Swiss Rolls with personality; Colin the Caterpillar.

Aldi retaliated via Twitter, vowing to fight for every spoonful of culinary justice as they defend their right to sell Cuthbert the Caterpillar! But wait, there’s more! Not only is Morris caterpillar cake available from Morrisons, there’s Charlie at the Co-op, Clyde from Asda and Curly in Tesco’s.

Where will it end? We don’t know either and didn’t even consider Wiggles at Sainsbury’s or Cecil at Waitrose at the time of writing.

We await, gripped with chocolate fever to see if we too incur the wrath of copyright infringement with our high fibre yarn filled amigurumi crochet pattern. In the meantime, here’s a wonderful way to get involved while creating an everlasting crochet cake to suit every occasion.

Birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations and other party occasions can be decorated with your choice of cheerful character for years to come.

Crochet caterpillar birthday cake, anyone?

Crocheting your choice of Caterpillar Cake is easier with our clearly written photo tutorial how-to crochet pattern. Filled with detailed full colour photographs to guide you through the project of your choice. These will make wonderful gifts to bring a smile to anybody’s face.
