For the lucky worms you will need embroidery twist, in the color of your choice and a 2.5 mm crochet hook.
1.
Form the starting loop Start by forming an initial loop from the embroidery twist . To do this, form the thread into a small "pretzel", insert the crochet hook through the loop, pick up the thread and pull it through the loop to form the first stitch.
2.
Crochet chain stitches Now crochet 40 chain stitches. These form the basis for the body of the lucky worm.
3. Crochet half double crochets- Insert: Insert the crochet hook into the stitch.
- Fold the yarn over: Fold the yarn over and pull it through the stitch. You now have two loops on the hook.
- Pull through the first loop: Fold the yarn over again and pull it only through the first loop on the needle. You now have two loops again.
- Pull through the last two loops: Yarn over the yarn one last time and this time pull it through both loops on the hook.
4.
Crochet more rows Turn your work and crochet another row of half double crochets. Insert into each stitch of the previous row and repeat the process as in the first row. Repeat the steps for a third and possibly a fourth row.
5.
Crochet the suspension Once you have completed the body of the lucky worm, crochet a suspension:
Crochet
40 chain stitches to form the suspension.
Close the suspension by crocheting it back into the body with a slip stitch right next to the beginning of the row of chain stitches for the suspension. This closes the suspension and forms a small "hook".
If you want to attach your lucky worm to a key ring, you will need only 20 to 25 chain stitches.
6.
Wind on the head Finally, the head is pulled on: Carefully thread the suspension through the hole in the wooden ball. This will allow the head to sit on the body. Pull the head through until it sits firmly on the body and the beginning of the suspension lies directly against the top hole of the ball.
Now you have your
finished lucky worm! Have fun crocheting and decorating!
