Looking for a quick crochet project that can brighten someone’s day?
This adorable crochet worry worm is made using one of my cute wooden face beads and takes only a few minutes to make. They’re perfect for Random Acts of Crochet Kindness, children’s gifts, party favours, classroom rewards, stocking fillers and craft fairs.
Because each bead has its own little expression, every worry worm develops its own personality.
Whether you’re making one or a whole basket full, these little worms are impossible not to smile at.
In this tutorial I’ll show you exactly how to make one step-by-step.
