With this PDF caterpillar plush sewing pattern, you can create a wonderful gift for a child or friend of any size (including life size plush).
I created a plush pattern in the following stages:
To create a soft toy pattern, first at all I created a 3D model of this toy.
At the second stage, I designed the details of the stuffed toy sewing patterns directly on the 3D model surface using special software.
After that, the details of the sewing pattern were laid out on a plane.
The last step in creating the plushie pattern was the exact fit of the parts to each other down to the millimeter.

The sewing difficulty level is 4/5 (the difficult level - not for beginners).

Size:
total length - 1100 mm (43.31 inches)
segment diameter - 100 mm (3.94 inches)
Please note that this sizes are approximate. The size of the plush toy depends on the properties of the fabric: elasticity, density, and so on.
