I needed:
- multi-colored skeins of thread. You can very successfully use the remains of yarn from large items, because we need several small multi-colored balls.
- The synthetic winterizer or synthetic winterizer for stuffing;
- convenient hook of the right size;
- scissors and a needle with a thread.
How do kids draw a caterpillar? Pencils, as a rule, of different colors, they draw balls, then they add eyes and legs to them. So we will do. First of all, start with the body and tie five small balls. To make them whole, without a hole on one side, we begin knitting with a convenient and versatile Amigurumi loop. We tie it with five columns.
We tighten the loop and close the posts with a circle. Then we need to expand to the sides, so in each next row we evenly add five new single crochet.
We reach in our extension to the required diameter and begin to knit without additions.
We knit several rows up and narrow the ball, evenly reducing, from each new row, five loops. We fill the ball with synthetic winterizer so that it turns out to be dense and round. We leave a small hole untied.
In the same way we knit the rest of the balls.
We begin to form the body of the caterpillar. With unfinished holes, we connect the balls together and sew with a needle and thread or the end of the yarn to which the ball was knitted. We connect the first three balls so that they are on the same level and together create an even strip.
Sew the remaining two balls with a slight offset.
After we finished collecting the body of the caterpillar, it remains for us to make legs and eyes for it. We knit the legs in the same way as balls for the body, only of a much smaller size and we do not form balls, but we knit only halves. Such legs will need eight pieces. We stuff them with a synthetic winterizer and evenly sew them to each ball of the body of the caterpillar.
We make the eyes of the white and black circles, which we sew together and sew to the caterpillar. Make a smile out of a black thread and you're done.
A fun colored caterpillar will appeal to any baby.
