What you need to know
This adorable greedy caterpillar, designed by Susie Johns, is sure to delight and entertain your little ones. Not only is he perfect for cuddles, but his hollow tummy and open mouth let children 'feed' him all the tasty treats you've knitted so far. From juicy plums and zesty oranges to cakes, sausages, and even a slice of cheese – you’ll be amazed at how much he can gobble up before it's time for his magical transformation into a beautiful butterfly.
