Sure, you’ve heard of worry worms, but what about a worried worm? The worm is worried… see what we did there?! Our Worried Worm Fidget is a long, squiggly tube of sparkly cotton yarn with a marble inside. Feeling antsy? Just squish the marble up and down! This is a great silent fidget for students or kids (or adults if you want some time to relax without assaulting the eardrums). This pattern only needs a small amount of yarn, so it’s great for using up your scraps!

This crochet amigurumi pattern is perfect for beginners and neurodiverse crafters. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics, making it easier to understand what you need to do in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give our patterns a try! The pattern also includes pictures and links to our Amigurumi 101 articles.
