Today i finished making a mini free spirit doll with an outfit to give as a birthday gift to one of my daughters nursery friends.
She's not so mini though. Shes made with worsted weight yarn on an I hook and her clothes are DK weight on an E hook so shes actually about 9/10 inches tall.
I thought i'd share her with you.

Repeat rows 10-15 until your caterpillar has the amount of segments that you want.
(skip round 15 on the final segment)
Fasten off, thread end through the stitches of the final round and pull tight.

Tie off.


If you'd like to make your caterpillar poseable you could thread a pipecleaner through the segments.
