Gauge
Gauge is not really that crucial for this tutorial. Just try experimenting with different hook sizes & different weight yarns to get a gauge you are happy with for the project you are working on. If your Worry Worm looks smaller than you anticipated, try a thicker weight yarn or a smaller size crochet hook. If you want your Worry Worm to be longer, just increase the number of stitches in your beginning (body) chain.
Notes – You can use any type of yarn as long as you have a corresponding crochet hook size (check yarn label for recommendations). – There are 2 main methods to crochet Worry Worms.
1. From the bottom up – meaning you start from the tail end.
2. From the top down – meaning you start with the head.
– I personally prefer the second method (starting with the head), because you get a better finish to your Worry Worm and the head sits straight on the body. It does require you to know how to crochet a Magic Circle. If you don’t know how to crochet a Magic Circle, you can either try to figure it out with these video tutorials, or you could just crochet 3 chains (ch), join the last stitch to the first stitch with a slip stitch (sl st) and crochet your 12 dc (double crochet) stitches into the little gap/ring you just created.
– You can make the pattern larger or smaller by changing the type of yarn and/or hook.
– Numbers at the end of each step (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that step. – Please note that I use US crochet terms.
