Caterpillar Series # 3 - Caterpillar With Hat

 This caterpillar comes with a hat. It is a simple pattern and all you need is some cotton yarn, safety eyes, stuffing and wire. I add wire in the body so that it could bend. I used 5 ply cotton yarn and a 3.5 mm hook. The tutorial video :  Caterpillar Pattern 1) Chain 7. Do half double crochet from the 2nd stitch from hook onwards, until the end of the row.  2) Chain 1, turn the work. Do slip stitch until the end of the row. One row of half double crochet follow by one row of slip stitch makes 1 set. Now make 9 sets. 3) At the end of the 9th set, chain 1, turn the work. Do 2 half double crochet on the 1st stitch. Do half double crochet in the next 4 stitch. Do 2 half double crochet in the last stitch. This is where the head is joint to the body. 4) Get another color for the legs. Do 1 leg in each section of the body (1 set is 1 section). Do on both sides of the body. Crochet a knot on the 1st section of the body, chain 5, slip stitch down to the body. Move to the next section and do a
