[KristieMN]

Good question!!

 

To the best of my recollection (all of mine have been swiped!)

they are about 1 1/2 inches tall, and about 6-8 inches long.

 

Hope that helps!

Hi...I alwaya admire your artwork...I'd like to share my artwork too but now I still don't know how to do attachment here. Anybody can help me?

[LittleJadeFrog]

 

Here is my caterpillar. I made him because he was just too adorable not to. Then I wasn't sure what to do with him, because he surely needed a home. Since I made him "baby-friendly" I decided to give him to a friend at work who just had a baby.

[KristieMN]

Your caterpiller is adorable!

I hope your co-worker loved it!

I loved this so much that I made one for my nephew for christmas. I used cotton yarn. That baby loves to chew on any fabric he can get his hands on, so I figured the cotton would be a good fit, and since I didn't want any detachable parts I used yarn for the eyes and mouth. Thanks for the pattern! This was my first ami, and I think it went just fine!

 

 

[livedinalaska]

he turned out gorgeous! I've made this one before too, very fun!

[KristieMN]

Andrea your caterpillar turned out great!
