As you learn to crochet more and more, you will have small pieces of leftover yarn. Never throw these away! Trust me, you will find a use for it, no matter the size. A lot of people make scrap blankets or things of that nature, but if that isn’t your thing, these crochet worry worms are meaningful crochet ideas for you to use your scrap pieces on.
I’m always looking for super easy projects I can do in the car or while the family is watching a movie. Recently, I saw these super fun crochet worry worms and instantly know they are right up my alley. They will literally take about 10 minutes to create and with all the yarn I have stashed away, I know I could make up a bunch of them.
What are Crochet Worry Worms?
A worry worm is a type of therapy tool that combines the act of crocheting with the practice of mindfulness to help manage stress and anxiety.
The idea behind a crochet worry worm is that the repetitive and calming motion of crocheting can help soothe and refocus the mind, reducing the grip of worry and anxiety.
How to use crochet worry worms?
Besides using them for bookmarks, you can also use them like ‘worry stones’ and ‘worry dolls’ and ‘fidget toys’. They give you something to hold onto and to play with in your hands. Pulling on the springy little crocheted worm can be comforting and calming.
