Valentine's Worry Worm Crochet Pattern

"The more I read about people's reactions to making or finding worry worms, the more inspired I am to create all kinds of Worry Worm designs (sometimes called wiggly worms) that crocheters can use for different occasions. The idea of these worry worms is to go out of one's way to make another person smile. It builds a sense of community in kind acts, and attempts to make the world a bit lighter and brighter!

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.

Finished SizeThis worry worm measures about 17 cm (6.7 inches) in length.
