Worm On A Hat Hook Crochet Pattern For Father's Day!


Hello! It's almost the end of the school year, so that means that Father's Day is soon! My dad loves to fish and I was wondering what to make him. The Fishing Bobber/Floaty that I made him, was a big hit with him for Christmas a couple of years ago and I wanted to make him something else that was fishing inspired. The Fishing Bobber/Floaty is a free pattern and you can find it here. After some thinking and brainstorming with Sean, I came up with the idea for a worm on a hat hook. I think it turned out super cute and I'm sharing it as a free pattern, just don't show my dad! I haven't gave him his yet! :) Scroll down for the free pattern.

 The Pattern

Pattern is worked in a spiral. Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.

R2: sc in each st around. =6
Weave in the end and turn right side out.

Use the white felt to cut a small circle. Make it a little larger than the safety eye. Cut a hole in the middle and put the safety eye through the hole in the felt. Attach the eyes to the worm.

Cut the yarn, pull through the last stitch and thread through a darning needle. Thread through the front loops of the remaining stitches. Pull tight to close the hole. Knot and weave in the end.
Insert the hook through the bottom of the worm to attach it to the hat hook.
