  • 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.❤

      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.

    • @christinafidance340

      It honestly doesn’t even matter with these. I do them all in SC, but you can use whichever you like really.

    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!

    Your first row was double crochet, was this supposed to be single crochet?

    • @hogwartswhovian
      @hogwartswhovian Рік тому +3

      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. 😊

    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.

    How do you wash them?

      @alcinaquach8883 5 місяців тому +1

      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.

    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 👍
