Or rather, a better way to make them.
I just tried one and it is furrier than the others. So cute!
I used double pointed needles and did it like an I-chord. There may be other names for this technique but that's the only one I know. (If an experienced knitter wants to jump in at any point and explain, please do!)
Cast on 3 stitches. Slide those three stitches down to the other end of that needle and knit the row. Again, just slide the stitches down to the other end. Repeat that until it's as long as you want. What you end up doing is knitting a chord, which with the boa yarn makes for the furriest cutest round bodied little caterpillar! I fluffed it up when I was done, pulling the loose boa yarns to the outside of the body.
My 10 yo saw what I was doing and said it looked just like what her knitting mushroom does - So maybe that would be an option for those of you who don't knit or crochet.
I think this little round bodied fellow is going to be perfect for putting a pipe cleaner inside of too.
Sorry no pic yet, I'm actually homeschooling right now.
Hugs,
Rhea

Or want to appear that I have all the cures.
There is so much to know... So many things are true...
The way my feet must go may not be best for you...
And so, I give this spark of what is light to me,
To guide you through the dark but not to tell you what to see.
