What do you do when you see worms squiggling along? Are you happy to see these tiny parts of the ecosystem, or do you run the other way? I’m not a fan of the real thing myself, but it’s hard to resist a crocheted version, indeed.

11. Shuttle, The Shongololo Crochet Pattern by Projectarian
Shuttle, the Shongololo is a species of millipede who live on and consume mineral-rich meteoroids in parts of the galaxy where the rocks are densely packed in asteroid clouds. They have very long bodies in order to stretch across space and move to a new meteoroid when the food runs out on their current rock.
Shuttle is a customizable millipede amigurumi, whereby you can make your critter as long or as short as you please (like a pill bug)! There is also the option in this pattern to make Shuttle furry, if you’re up for a fun challenge! The furry version is smaller and simpler, to preserve your sanity, but if you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can make the full-sized version furry too!
