3. Stuffing: As you crochet, begin to stuff the worm lightly with polyester fiberfill. Be careful not to overstuff, as this can make the worm stiff.

4. Finishing Touches: Once you reach the end of the pattern, close the opening by sewing it shut with a darning needle. Attach safety eyes or googly eyes as desired.

5. String Attachment: To create the "string" part, you can use a length of yarn or fishing line. Attach it securely to one end of the worm so it can be pulled along.

Tips for Success

• Yarn Weight: You can use different yarn weights to create larger or smaller worms. For a bigger worm, consider using bulky yarn or two strands of worsted weight yarn.
