About this crochet pattern
This caterpillar holds up to five pairs of eyeglasses. Each body segment is a pocket that also works for sunglasses, a phone or other small items. It hangs from a twig with twine and measures about 6 in by 20 in.
Details include crocheted oak leaves, an I-cord antenna, a bow tie, little feet and a tiny pair of glasses. It uses only basic stitches (sc, hdc, dc, trc, sl st) and simple shaping, so it is beginner-friendly, and it is a good way to use up scrap yarn.
