Free crochet worm on a string pattern: a Worm on a String amigurumi, about 5 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A long rainbow-striped worm with a red head, big googly eyes, pink cheeks, a smile and a white string loop on its tail. You need about 60 m of yarn: 10 m each of red, orange, yellow, green and blue, and 5 m each of purple, white and pink. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Hang it by the loop on a shelf, a bag or a window, or give it to a kid who loves bugs. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

- Size before assembly: about 4.2 cm at the widest, 18.8 cm long; 51 rounds.
- Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R9).
- Change to yellow (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R18).
- Change to green (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R27).
- Change to blue (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R36).
- → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Change to purple (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R45).
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside. Bend ≈ 75° around round 22<!-- the bend spreads over 22 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's left on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 22, on the line on the toy's left side). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 18 to round 26, one stitch in every round along one column, then pull the yarn until the piece bends to the angle (the inner side gathers by about 8 rounds) and fasten off inside.
- A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Size before assembly: about 2.6 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 4 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in white (same rounds, no colour changes).
- Fasten off. Hold a front and a plain circle wrong sides together and sc around through both layers: 20 sc. Do not stuff. Leave a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing.
