- Learn how to crochet this easy fidget toy for Alzheimer's patients, this is one of the easiest projects I have found to create, use any scrap yarn laying around and donate it to your local old age home.
I was a beginner making this video, please do not listen to my voice rather write it down and make it your own.
Chain 15 or more for bigger sizes.
From the 2nd chain from the hook make 14 HDC back.
Grab your stitch marker
Twist your work
Chain one
1st stitch 1SC
2nd stitch 2SC
All the way around till the finish
SS into the last stitch from where you marker was, chain 1 and start from the opposite side.
Always make sure you work is twisted.
Apologies for the mistakes and thank you for still spreading kind words.
I've lived alone for 10 years since my fiance died and I taught myself to crochet 9 years ago. Anyway, I've been wanting to wanting to go to our assisted living or nursing care facilities, this would be great I could make these and bring them and talk to the people.
Thank you so much, it must be fate that this video popped up.❤
...so much better than playing mindless cell games xoxo ;-)))
Thank you for the easy tutorial! My friends and I are all autistic/adhd and fidget toys really help with that and anxiety. I am also making one for my aunt who has dementia. Thank you again!
You're Welcome! All the best 🙂
I am in love with these! I made 3 and I’m sending them to family & friends all over the country!
Thank you 🙂
Thank you!
I think I will be making several of these for my mother
I love making these to donate. Most of mine go to children. Your pattern is very clear and easy to understand. Thank you 💕🧶
I am so happy, that is great, thank you for spreading the love. From your hand to theirs, such a great feeling.
Love it, but looks like HDC for first row?
Different terminology for different parts of the world. I know Europe also has different names of sts than in the US. Hope that helps
@risacrawford3775 FYI, that's not called SC anywhere. Also, she says SC in the next row as well, and she IS doing a different stitch (the c task SC) 😊. It's ok though.
It honestly doesn’t even matter with these. I do them all in SC, but you can use whichever you like really.
This is amazing!!! Thank you so so much for this pattern😊
You're welcome 😊
It's hard to see stitches when it's done all in gray, every row. I'd love to see a demo done in lighter, different colors. I love your color combos!
Great idea!
What a good idea! Thank you for sharing.
Just a pleasure, enjoy the pattern 😀
I was FINALLY able to do it thanks to your tutorial. I tried so many! Thank you!
Amazing, I am so glad. Thank you for the kind words.
I had the same problem I tried so many times until watching this tutorial
Great tutorial, just made my first one and it turned out great. Thank you!

Love this, going to make one for my son.
Have fun! :-)

Hi there, pleasure.
thank you so much for making this!! super helpful!
Your welcome, enjoy making them.
Great idea
Thank you! 😊
I looove your accent omg
Oh my goodness thank you, I am Afrikaans :-) so we sound a bitt off for ourselves if we speak English
Las tres primeras vueltas eran un punto bajo en cada punto? Aumento no habia no?
I am going to have to try and make one of these for my boyfriends brother that had Williams Syndrome and was recently diagnosed with loose joint disease in his fingers and has to try and do therapy to strenthen his hands and i seen these and thought this might help him!!!! Does anyone else have thoughts on this helping him?
Hi there, I am just following up, have you made some for him?
These are cool. thanks
:-) Thank you
Your first row was double crochet, was this supposed to be single crochet?
i also noticed that the first row was actually half double crochets, I wonder what difference it will make, shorter? tighter?
@@hogwartswhovian I think it will make keeping track of the twist easier. I was only doing single crochet back along the first row of chain stitches and it’s hard to tell if you’re getting the twist correctly. I also like how she slip stitches to connect the other side when she gets back to it. I’m going to start doing it her way. I’ve made over 40 of these for our local veterans hospital. But really, it’s such a forgiving pattern, it really doesn’t matter as long as you get a twist in it. 😊
UK terms are different than us terms
@@alexdavis2564 The US single crochet is double crochet UK, she did HDC half double crochet US which is half treble crochet UK, US double crochet is treble crochet UK.
How many rounds did you do? And what was the weight of your yarn?
Hi there, you can do as many sounds as you like, if it's for and adult about 10 to fit into the hands. I can not remember the yarn type because it was different ones combined. All my scraps laying around. The thicker the yarn the less rounds.
I think you did double crochet in your first row.
Those are half doubles…
How do you wash them?
You can follow the washing instructions on the yarn label. I plan to make mine out of cotton or acrylic so that the recipient doesn’t have to follow any special care instructions. Just wash and dry.
Thank you :-)
You are not doing single crochet back but half double crochets.
I am from SA this is just how I learned, I apologize for this then.
@@crochetandcreateforcharity - I am also south african.
@@karenschaper871 OH 👋🏻 hi there 😊
Very very good tutorial❤ Though the twists can get confusing at some point, but that's just the nature of the project. I also suggest using lighter-coloured yarn next time for a clearer tutorial. Very nice overall, keep up the good work 👍
Thank you! 😊
