Discover the cute crochet worry worm trend
If you're looking for your next crochet project, why not make it a crochet worry worm? A worry worm is a crochet project aimed at children, helping them work through difficult emotions and events.
A crochet worry worm is a tiny piece of crochet, unsurprisingly in the shape of a worm. It's usually made from one colour yarn stitched into a long coil, sometimes with googly eyes added to make it look more like a worm.
The idea is that children can keep their crochet worry worm in their pocket, to remind them that they are not on their own.
How to make a crochet worm
A crochet worm is a really easy project to make and ideal for beginner stitchers. You don't need to use much yarn, making it perfect for using up scraps of yarn leftover from other projects.
All you need to do is create a crochet spiral by using double crochet and adding a stitch to each round, to create a coil. You can then add googly eyes or other facial features to finish off your worm.
Many crocheters write a short poem to go alongside their crochet worm creations, to remind the recipient that they are loved. Some also thread their worms onto a keyring, to be used as a bag charm.
If you'd prefer to buy a crochet worm rather than make one, there are many independent retailers on Etsy selling them for a few pounds.
Happy stitching!
