Gift-Tag Crochet Worry Worm Pattern
This idea turns a basic worry worm into a polished little gift by pairing it with a tag, card, or bookmark. Follow the steps slowly the first time, then batch several once the curl makes sense.
Materials
- Worsted yarn
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Blank cardstock tag
- Cotton twine
Step-by-step instructions
- Crochet a classic worry worm using a chain of 25 to 30 stitches.
- Work 3 double crochet stitches into each chain to create the curl.
- Fasten off and weave in both yarn tails securely.
- Embroider a simple face near the head end.
- Punch one hole in a blank cardstock tag.
- Thread cotton twine through the tag hole.
- Tie the worry worm loosely to the tag without squeezing the stitches.
- Trim the twine ends neatly.
- Add the tag to a small gift, care package, or classroom kindness basket.
- Keep the card blank until you are ready to personalize it.
Finishing tips
- Use blank tags for flexible gifting.
- Attach loosely so the worm keeps its curl.
- Make tags in batches after the worms are finished.
How to use it
Add the finished worry worm to a gift bag, kindness basket, bookmark, care package, desk drawer, or craft fair basket. If gifting to children, keep all details embroidered and securely woven in.
