Crochet Fidget Toy - Small

[@ClaireBee-e1o]

Love this , thanks so much for sharing!

[@shaunabanauna]

This pattern is amazing and so simple. I made one on my metro ride, on the way to my Doctor's appointment. ❤

[@shaunabanauna]

Oh and the sound effect had me giggling!

[@AdelaideLovesAnimals]

I say “boop” to my dogs and they give me a nose to nose bump. When you said it one of my dogs jumped up and “booped” me 😂

[@xX-yarnicornz-Xx]

Awwww ❤ that’s so sweet!

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

I love your teaching style! I have been trying to learn how to make a few of these for my grandkids! You make the stitch pattern clear & easy to follow!

[@reneerobinson2332]

Your tutorials are so clear, I made it first time following along !!

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Thank you so much!

[@juliagiannelli5597]

Love this. Thank you for the easy to follow directions.

[@QChord4Fun]

I make mine different, but they look and work the same way. I chain 16 and put 5 dbl crochet in each chain. wrap it around my finger, and tack the two curls together in the center. Pull the end up through the middle, twist, and join the ends. Done.

[@marlynfoell5711]

Many many thanks for this. I tried to follow a written pattern, but my mobius didn't pull tru. I want to make these for a chemo clinic--I make hats for them, and I thought fidgets would be a nice extra item. You are soooo smooth and easy to follow. Thanks again so much.

[@cbmimilk]

I got it at first time, but I made it small. Now I m going to make bigger. Hugs from Brasil 🇧🇷 and thank you!!!❤

[@marycomer1978]

Really enjoy your tutorials. I’m working on your large one now. Thanks for making a double crochet smaller version. I plan on that one next! So relaxing! 😁👍

[@dancinhorse]

[@johnnydeeregirl1]

[@debcantoni7183]

Me too. lol

[@chrisc9393]

Thank you so much for sharing your talent and your time. Your instructions are easy to follow and your video is great. I just made your small fidget toy and it turned out perfect.

[@missyrogers1759]

Oh my goodness!!!! I did it 😁 I have tried so many patterns unsuccessfully... thank you!! Can't wait to share and play 😊🤗

[@colleen8192]

So good!

[@yarnchickenkim]

Thanks so much! I’m going to have hours of fun just making these!

[@tanyag1160]

Made one last night. Going to make the bigger one next. Such a fun make, great video.

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Thank you!

[@awise292]

I love your tutorials! So easy to follow❤

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Thanks!

[@carolemccosker8840]

Thank you so much for sharing I'm going to watch this again then have a go my self . I'm new to crochet 🎉❤

[@findsbymichele]

Thank you

[@cherylkines2076]

thank you for this! making some for a math teacher friend to hand out to students 🎉

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Love that!

[@carolyndebacker7075]

Thank you for making such a clear pattern. I was watching one video and she didn’t show how to slip stitch it together.

[@amparobeneditosanchez17]

Voy a intentar, hice dos pelotas Montessori y esta me encanta

[@kaystewart6009]

Thank you from here to infinity!!!!

[@lesliegates8651]

Thanks

[@DianeVancouver]

Ha! Cute and fast! Thanks. I’ve made möbius cowls so the concept is familiar.

[@cathiesmith0812]

I love these toys! You are absolutely right, have to say "Boop" for it to work out right. I've not said "Boop," before and it didn't work.

[@Milo_taken21]

I did this first try and it works awesomely tysm

[@dalenerobinson9]

Looks fun! I'm going to try this! I am from Washington State, USA

[@biancamacias1082]

This was so fun and cool!! Super easy to follow! Thank you!!

[@mymthegreyful]

I must have turned 180 the wrong way or something as mine definitely won't turn to infinity. I'll try again.

[@drybranchhollow90]

Thank you!!! You made this look easy

[@wally-darling1067.]

How do yu add beads to this pattern 🤔 could yu post another video showing how to do so if possible

[@lindawellinghoff5432]

Sweet!

[@JaneneGroff-lk6qc]

I am having a prob with the twist. I am left handed. I need help appreciate any advise

[@Monikas_Handmade_Compendium]

Hi 👋. So cool. Thank you 🙏 love this. Gotta make more in larger size. So much fun 😀💜🙏

[@jenreeves7684]

Thank you!

[@maryzenkungfu]

I am a relative beginner, but am i the only one who had a lot of trouble finding the bottom of the stitches? You made it look so easy, but I could not see what to put my hook into. I really like your mobius. I will have to try again some other day when I get better at crochet.

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Take a look at this video that is just on the mobius part - maybe it will help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oInbqaVubbSFbKssi=LNekQMKss6fZfiLX

[@curlysue34]

I've done two now and neither one will keep pulling out from the middle 😔 I must've missed a step

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Your twist is not set up properly, probably. You really need to be picky when you set up the full round about starting in the bottom of the first row, and jumping to the top.

[@manicur911]

You may have missed part of the step when you slip stitch into the chain 3 before your first DC.

[@Melfan2012]

When you had to connect it you maybe put it true the wrong hole that is also the mistake I made

[@nancy9478]

After I made the first row, I joined the ends making sure I twisted it. I took the tail from the chain and used that to secure that side and slip stiched the other side. Chain 1 for sc, 2 for dc and start making your stiches, worked well for me. Remember to chain after you slip stich so you know where to end your rounds. Otherwise you are in continuous round mode and that is not good for these, it "never ends" yikes

[@kimchidoao54]

maybe u didn't boop 😂

[@danniellejapp3478]

Ooh a mobius fidget

[@twinsgardening896]

...I am making this immediately.

[@marilynepelbaum1732]

I tried this a few times before I finally got it right! It was definitely easier to use the back bumps for the single crochet row. I LOVE this pattern! I have made several. I also tried the large one.

[@daniellemark5110]

Mines not working right i cant pull it thru i have to force it to work

[@corinnemasson7293]

Bonjour, quelle laine utilisez vous ? Merci

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Bonjour ! J'ai utilisé un fil acrylique de poids « Médium/Worsted/4 ».

[@suniedaze8438]

At the end I’m only ending up doing 35 slip stitches. Is that right? So it’s like half are getting slip stitched.

[@suniedaze8438]

Ignore that. I just made another one and changed the color for the slip stitch.I can clearly see that I’m making 70 .changing color sometimes makes all the difference.

[@janmchaney7912]

Finally got this to work, however I have gaps at both start and finish projects. I hate sewing.. What am I doing wrong here??

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

I often get a gap at the beginning - at the original twist. I know you don’t love sewing but I just close it up with 1 stitch when I am weaving int he first end. I have never gotten a gap at the end - are you not joining the sl st round in the first st maybe? Hard to say…

[@janmchaney7912]

Yes joining with so st and chain three

[@janmchaney7912]

Also..I’ve done my chain very loose..Now when I turn the work upside down..those stitches are very tight. I’m using super saver yarn and a 5 mm hook. I’ve tried a bigger hook and still no luck. I’m starting to get frustrated.

[@rianelhada]

You can try joining the initial chain untwisted, then when working on the sc portion (in the round), you can join at the bottom of st instead of the top where one would normally join. After you can continue per usual as the pattern says. Creates the same effect. Tip: adding a few dc wherever you see a gap can help as well ☺️

[@KatherineTheGreat501]

I can't tell the last ch 3 to push through the middle. Perhaps a stitch marker?

[@suniedaze8438]

I started doing that. When I make the chain three, I put a stitch marker in the top loop of the chain.

[@nickyrose-innes]

I've done two and it's not working...... Followed your steps exactly. There's nothing pulling out the middle

[@sabrinabundy8669]

How can I add pony beads to this fidget?

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Maybe a few? If you put them on the outer edge you would need to make sure the opening is large enough for them to easily pull through. Maybe add a few stitches to the first row

[@saundalassen-dw9cs]

i think the first step is a little mis-leading cause you say you’re going to work into each chain two times but then end w/7 sc, if you’re working into it two times wouldn’t you end with 14sc? i may be misunderstanding but that’s how i’m taking it, esp as someone who’s never made this before

[@carmendewaal1844]

...so much better than playing mindless cell games ;-)))

[@patready1012]

I simply can’t make these work this pattern or another 😫

[@thalassophile1665]

Nope, can’t do it.

[@caitlinduke5547]

no matter how hard i try i cannot get this to work

[@kathynavarro-sochel755]

Me, too. I am going to try again by watching every single step! I have used other tutorials for this and can’t make them work either. I have probably been thru about 5-6 other tutorials already. All I keep getting is a big circle even after twisting!

[@kathynavarro-sochel755]

Follow-up, I did it again following each step and it STILL didn’t work. It is twisty like a mobius but won’t budge. 😮 I notice she says things like, “Put the stitch here” but then falls out of the camera and I can’t see where she is actually stitching into. I know this is easy for her, but as a re-beginner, I can’t seem to make it work. Frustrating, I know. 😢

[@emilietan829]

❤❤❤

[@ASEMBLE_GIO-S]

It worked! But... i am so bad at it that its hard to see what it is and the one i made was realy small 😂👍

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Bigger hook might help!

[@mrsesta1119]

I do appreciate the free tutorial, it just really sucks when the most crucial part of the whole thing is barely glazed over. Made this several times and it does not pull forever. It flips over itself and then looks like a scrunchie. I wasted so much time on this 😢

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

I am sorry you’re disappointed but it does absolutely pull forever if made correctly.

[@upsidedownsundae]

its so simple yet im so confused

[@boblitt3130]

Can someone please reply to this comment with the written pattern? Thanks so much

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Pattern is on the blog - hookedforlifepublishing.com/2023/03/19/crochet-fidget-toy-pocket-sized/

[@Ellie-mae.x]

Hiw do I untangle it it's driving me crazy 🤪 😢

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

If you mean pull it apart - you aren’t supposed to, that is what makes it a fidget toy :-) If you are having tangling issues while stitch I would say put the video on half speed and stitch along with me. It is a little fiddly.

[@gehap]

its a shame i messed up so many times, i didnt understand what was happening most of the time, i had to retry so many times :( but over all gj on the vieo is great

[@gothic_angel]

I failed after many attempts. I said boop and I made my first successful one

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

It is all about the boop :-)

[@gothic_angel]

@@hookedforlifewithMBT must have been it

[@johnnydeeregirl1]

It so is!❤❤

[@JasmineHanham]

U need to do a slower one.

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

You could maybe try playing this one at half speed? Although I don’t know if that would make me sound like a baritone!

[@n9qj]

i don't understand what am I doing wrong 😭😭
