Are you looking for a quick amigurumi fidget where the beads actually spin? Then grab your scrap yarn, and let’s crochet a Granny Roller Bead Fidget! This Granny is wearing her pink hair rollers, pearl necklace, and a cute little smirk. She works up fast and is the perfect size for a keychain. The pony beads spin freely to help with fidgety hands (big or small) and make great stocking stuffers or teachers’ gifts. This pattern is easy to customise with different colour beads and facial expressions.

This crochet amigurumi pattern is perfect for beginners and neurodiverse crafters. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics making it easier to understand what you need to do in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give our patterns a try!

Using worsted yarn and a 3mm hook, our Granny Roller Bead Fidget is approximately 6cm tall. The size will vary depending on yarn used and tension.
