A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet worry worm pattern: a Rainbow Worry Worm amigurumi, about 5 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It curls in a soft spiral with a red head, round pink cheeks, small black eyes and a tiny smile, and its body runs through orange, yellow, green, blue and purple stripes. You need about 40 m of yarn: 10 m red, 5 m orange, 5 m yellow, 5 m green, 5 m blue, 5 m purple and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 1 hour. A fidget buddy for a pocket or desk and a gentle gift for anyone who worries a lot. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern to match every stripe.

How to crochet the Rainbow Worry Worm

Beginner-friendly · 5 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 3 pieces in rounds: Worm body, Cheek ×2 (38 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 3 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  1. Size before assembly: about 4.6 cm at the widest, 12.4 cm long; 36 rounds.
  2. Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R10).
  3. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  4. Change to yellow (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R16).
  5. Change to green (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R22).
  6. Change to blue (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R27).
  7. Change to purple (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R32).
  8. 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 ≈ 230° around round 14<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds --><!-- coil 2 pitch 14 -->. The piece rolls up into a spiral (about 0.6 turns) from round 14 to its end: after stuffing, roll it up starting from the last round (round 36) toward the side that faces toward the toy's left on the finished toy; the turns lie close, each wider than the last. From the last round back to round 14 tack neighbouring turns together with 2–3 stitches of matching yarn every 3–4 rounds and hide the yarn inside.

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
