crochet pattern colorful amigurumi caterpillar bath sponge

With this cheerful caterpillar made of fluffy sponge yarn babies and children have even more fun when bathing.
But also for adults, the caterpillar is a beautiful eye-catcher in the bathroom!

The colorful caterpillar (which you can of course also crochet in other colors or plain) is very nice as a gift for birth, baptism or birthday of the child.
