Mini-Stash-Buster Project!

Carmen the Caterpillar is one of my newest patterns! She is the PERFECT mini-stash-buster project! She is versatile with so many color combo's and so easily adaptable to make her longer!


Use reds and pinks to turn her into a Valentine's caterpillar!

Use purples, blues and greens to make her an Easter caterpillar!

Use bright pinks, yellows and blues to have her ready for summer time!

Use oranges, black and purples and give her a mask to turn her into a Halloween caterpillar!

Use reds, green, silver and white with a lil Santa hat and make her the best Christmas decoration!

Use textured yarn to give her unique and fun looks and make her a diva caterpillar!


The possibilities are endless! If you have a bunch of different colored yarn that is 'too much to toss out' or 'not enough to do anything big with' you have the right amount of yarn to make body parts for this sweet lil caterpillar! 

I would LOVE to see your Carmen the Caterpillar projects! You can fave, queue and purchase this Carmen the Caterpillar pattern in my Ravelry store right now by CLICKING HERE!!! 

I would love if you would share pictures of your completed caterpillar on my Facebook page and stop by to see what other projects I am working on now too!!
