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 its 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.
This soft fidget toy pattern is suitable for beginners, as it is really easy and explained step by step.
You will need chenille yarn, a 4-mm hook, a tapestry needle, one stitch marker and a pair of scissors. A bit of stuffing as well.
