Basic Worry Worm Instructions
Worm Body:
- Start the Worm: Make a slip knot, then chain 30. Connect the ends with a slip stitch to form a circle.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finish: Chain one, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.
- Add the Head: Slide a wooden bead onto the top of the worm for the head.
Worm Hat:
- Start the Hat: Create a magic ring, chain 2, and crochet 11 double crochets into the ring.
- Close the Round: Pull the ring tight and finish with a slip stitch.
- Second Round: Chain 2, work half double crochets around, increasing in every second stitch. Close with a slip stitch and chain one.
- Hat Brim: Using only the front loops, work one single crochet in each stitch. Finish with a slip stitch, chain one, and cut the yarn. Weave in the ends.
- Attach the Hat: Place the hat on top of the bead.
Assembly:
- Attach the hat securely to the bead with hot glue. Optionally, add a little bow around its neck for a finishing touch!
