Notes
- Made with acrylic worsted weight yarn; suitable for DK yarn with a small barrette or larger hook for similar size.
- Avoid thick chunky yarn for the fidget toy.
- For larger projects, use chunky yarn to create a small pillow.
- Finished size is approximately 3 inches wide.
- Experiment with color variations: pastel, dark, or monochrome rainbows.
Instructions
- The crochet fidget toy pattern is made in rounds and then folded for the last round.
- Round 1: With the purple yarn, make a mr loop then sc x8 into it (8). Then fasten off the purple yarn and switch it to blue.
- Round 2: With the blue yarn, inc in every stitch from the previous round (16). Then fasten off the purple yarn and switch it to green.
- Round 3: With the green yarn, sc, inc, then repeat for the rest of the round (24). Then fasten off the green yarn and join the yellow yarn.
- Round 4: With the yellow yarn, sc x2, inc, then repeat for the rest of the round (32). Then fasten off the yellow yarn and join the orange yarn.
- Round 5: With the orange yarn, sc x3, inc, then repeat for the rest of the round (40). Then fasten off the orange yarn and join the red yarn.
- Fold the rainbow in half with the newly joined red yarn on the bottom right.
- Round 6: Now you are going to crochet the rainbow shut with the red by going through both sides of the circle.
- Note: Because the circle is now cut in half you will have 20 stitches at the beginning of this round and will have 24 at the end.
- For this round sc x4, inc, then repeat for the rest of the round (24). At a little more past the halfway mark insert the barrette into the rainbow. Then finish the round. When you get to the end, fasten off the yarn and weave in the tails.To keep the barrette closed as it snaps, you may want to either tie string or a rubber band around it.
- And now you have a finished rainbow crochet fidget toy!
