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.

They’re adorable as amigurumi, and realistic renderings make it easy to appreciate the colors and details of these fascinating creatures.

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!
