Granny Roller Bead Fidget
Crochet Pattern
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.
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.

Our patterns are written a little differently with beginner and neurodivergent crafters in mind. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics, making it easier to understand what you need to crochet in each row / round. If you’ve had trouble reading crochet patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give ours a try!
