What you need to know

Go you! That’s it, you’ve reached the last part of your Colourful Caterpillar knitalong and it’s time to finish off your project. This multi-coloured pattern looks really impressive but you’re only using two shades per row. Always strand the contrast yarn below your background shade to make it really pop. Complete your caterpillar with I-cord details worked on two double-pointed needles.

Stocking stitch alternates a row of knit stitches with a row of purl stitches. This creates a knitted fabric that is smooth on the right side (with purl stitches forming the bumpy wrong side).
