Use a rainbow of colour to knit a cuddly caterpillar. This big toy also doubles up as a handy draught excluder. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the caterpillar is knitted in acrylic aran yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). A combination of knits and purls gives the ribbed texture to the caterpillar’s body. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, work a kfb increase and k2tog decrease, knit stripes, and seaming to finish.

- Instructions for making the caterpillar and photos.
