Crochet a soft, washable, silent fidget toy for yourself or a loved one who likes to move and fidget. This fidget toy is perfect for those of us with ADHD, for autistics who like to stim with their hands or fingers, or anyone else who needs a little bit of help to concentrate.
This is a very quick project and you can mix up colors of chenille yarn to come up with interesting looking fidget toys that bring endless joy.

This free stim toy video pattern also comes with a PDF version where you have all the instructions, plus step by step photo instructions if following along with instructional crochet videos is not your thing.
This is my best-selling pattern and it's available at a really affordable price, so I hope you get your own copy if you want to support in making more patterns and videos.

one of the best stress/anxiety relieving toys ive found online for crochet, thanks for the wonderful pattern!!
Thank you! I really appreciate this! It helps when you design something based on your own needs 😁
Thank you thank you thank you for this design. I have adhd, and this has become an essential "can't leave the house without" item. I first made it with cotton yarn because it was the only stuff I had on hand, but it made a project just small enough to flip one handed with ease, so I use it while I'm driving long distances. (Of course if traffic picks up and I need to drive extra careful, I just loop it around my thumb and can drive with both hands no problem.) I made one for my grandma with anxiety and she uses it regularly, too. Truly my favorite thing in the world.
So glad it helps! Although maybe while driving isn't the best place, I get the need to fidget in any scenario.
This is awesone. Thank you for not taking 45 minutes to show it. I appreciate the fast forward.
Thank you!
This is awesome! I am a math teacher who crochets and this will be great to have for my students,
Thanks! That's awesome, I hope they have a lot of fun with this toy. There are more similar shapes you can explore as well, although we don't have crochet patterns for them yet.
thank you so much for this tutorial! I made one a year ago and now I’m back for more. I’m obsessed with my flexagon I love it so much!
I don't know anything about these, but my husband has a friend at work that loves them and I think they would get a kick out of having 1 like this home made and a 1 of a kind! Thank you for sharing this :)
That's an awesome idea for a gift for someone who'll truly appreciate it 😄 I think you'll find you'll make more than one 😉
@@YarnAndy I hope I can make it (is it hard to make)? And I thank you for sharing this
It's pretty easy, just follow along with the video and you'll see ☺️
@@YarnAndy Thank you
It took me a wee while to get the first section right and work out where to start the second section, but I soon got the hang of it.
I was really pleased with myself when I'd finished. Thank you 💖
It takes a bit of practice and patience, but I'm glad you got it!
I’m really struggling with the second section 😂 How did you figure it out???
What exactly is the issue? Starting? Finding the loops to work into? It might help to put stitch markers in all the loops, so you don't miss one.
@@YarnAndy I’m struggling with the third pyramid and which direction it should be facing
The third one should be like the first. You keep building each on top of the last one, and at the end of each you create the final shape by closing the tube at a 90 degree angle from the previous one.
This is awesome, will definitely be making these & sharing this video! Thanks Andy 💝
Thank you, Marina! 🧡

Very cool and unique fidget toy. Thank you. :)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it!
i will try making these for myself as i tend to break, lose or misplace my smaller fidget toys.. thank you
That's awesome! The making some for yourself part, not the losing part, I know what that feels like. But then when you find one under the couch, free fidget toy?
This is awesome, thank you
Enjoy! 🧡
I just found your channel. So happy I did.
Happy to have you here 💛

Wow, thank you! That's the first Super anything I ever got, I don't even know how it works. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy the toy 💛
My first attempt didn’t go as well but I figured out what I did wrong and my second one was great! Thank you!!! Such a fun crochet pattern
I'm glad you persevered!
what did you do wrong? i finished mine but it doesn't feel right, i don't know if i actually did it the right way lol
@@camillalourenco5758 I ended up having 7 rows in each pyramid 😅So make sure it’s 6. Also I made one using bernat blanket yarn and it was to thick of a yarn and just didn’t look right. Make sure it’s a thinner size 6 weight like parfait chunky turns out great. I also use size 5 weight yarn and turns out great too.
I originally wanted to make it for myself but now I wanna make them for my nieces and nephews for Christmas
That's awesome! That's what I did with mine as well, many went to nieces and nephews, one was a secret Santa gift.
That’s very cool!
Thanks!
@@YarnAndyI just got some yarn, this will be a nice weekend project 😊
Obrigada amei parabéns Brasil 🇧🇷 DF
Can you use another kind of yarn like milk cotton?
Sure, you can use different kinds of yarn, but maybe something that doesn't stretch out. I'm not sure about milk cotton, give it a try. Maybe put it in two if it's thin, otherwise you'll end up with a tiny toy.
I just used 2 strands of sports weight acrylic yarn. It works fine. I am sure you can use whatever you like. Just remember the thickness of the yarn and the size of the hook will determine how big it will be.
Does it have to be a velvet yarn?
Nope, any yarn works, just make sure you have good tension, like for any amigurumi. So choose the hook size that gives you no holes. Thinner yarn will make a smaller toy, though you could adapt the stitch counts as well (you need to experiment with that).
Mine is not as pointy. Is it because I used a bigger hook?
I can't tell without a photo. If you overstuff the sections, you'll also get the toy to be rounder. If your tension is too loose, that might also make the toy floppy.
Could you go a little slower to show how you are sewing up the final stitches? I love the tutorial and will try it soon, it’s different and unique. Good job.
Thank you for your feedback! Based on several people telling me that they'd prefer slower versions of my video tutorials, I decided to offer that in a Patreon. I'll upload videos with minimal editing and no fast-forward on repetitive bits and this one is the first. You can find it here: www.patreon.com/Yarnandy You also get one free PDF pattern per month and ad-free versions of all new tutorials.
I’m doing really good but it’s turning inside out what am I doing wrong? Why are all my stitches on the inside
You probably just turned the work inside-out when starting. While you are still making the first part, you can turn it right side out, otherwise you won't be able to continue. Just push the starting row through the tube.
are we allowed to sell these?
Yes, of course, as long as you make them yourself. Crediting the designer is encouraged too 😁
I can’t for the life of me figure this out.
I'm sorry for that. Which part gives you trouble? If you have the pyramids built up and can't figure out how to fold the toy, play with it a little and it will fall into place naturally. If the pyramids are overstuffed, this won't work, they need to have flat faces.
Thank you!
