Worm Body:

  1. Start the Worm: Make a slip knot, then chain 30. Connect the ends with a slip stitch to form a circle.
  2. Continue the Body: Chain 25. Skip the first two chains, and in the third chain, start by working four double crochet stitches. In the next 21 stitches, make one double crochet in each.
  3. Shape the Worm: To form the body shape, roll it up. In the last stitch, work one double crochet, two half double crochets, and one single crochet.
  4. Finish: Chain one, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.
  5. Add the Head: Slide a wooden bead onto the top of the worm for the head.
