This unique crochet pattern combines play and practicality—and is perfect for using up leftover yarn. The caterpillar can be transformed into a butterfly in just a few simple steps. The colorful heart pieces can be sorted by color and placed in matching small bowls, which playfully encourages children to recognize and match colors. The bowls can also be used as small organizers for decorative purposes.
Note: When used by children, applicable safety and CE guidelines must be observed at your own responsibility. The instructions do not contain any information on this and do not automatically result in a CE-compliant product.
I create my instructions with the utmost care to ensure that crocheting is a joyful experience. However, if you do have any questions about the instructions, I am always happy to help. Before purchasing, you can contact me directly here at Crazypatterns via private message. After your purchase, you will receive additional contact details, such as my email address. You are also welcome to ask your questions in my Facebook group “Marili Designs – die Gruppe.” I always strive to respond as quickly and helpfully as possible.
