Notes

Had to take my time with this project due to getting carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand. Otherwise the cardigan was pretty straight forward and quick to knit. When I started the caterpillar design, I originally knitted individual body segments ready to sew on but they were too bulky. In stead, I knitted the body in garter stitch as a whole piece, increasing and decreasing the edges as I went along and sewing it on afterwards. The face was knitted in stocking stitch. I used fluffy wool called “Eskimo” to create the hairs on his back.
