Easy Crochet “Don’t Worry” Worms

I’m always looking for super easy projects I can do in the car or while the family is watching a movie. Recently I saw these super fun crochet Worry Worms and instantly knew they were right up my alley. They literally take about 10 minutes to create and with all the yarn I have stashed away, I knew I could make up a bunch of them. I decided to add my own twist to the Worry Worms and have turned them into “Don’t Worry” Worms. Because if you are around me much, you’ll probably hear me sharing something about what I do when worry comes knocking at my door.

Easy Crochet “Don’t Worry” Worms

I love the song “I’m So Blessed” by Cain, so if you know it already, you’ll have it in your head. If you don’t know it, then you need to go check it out.

Trouble knocking at my door today
I ain’t gonna let it in
And worry wanna steal my joy away
But I ain’t gonna let it win

When trouble comes knocking at my door and worry is my first response, I need something to remind me that I don’t need to worry. Some of my favorite verses in the Bible are Philippians 4:6-7:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I decided that these verses would be perfect to print out and attach with my Don’t Worry Worms so I can share them with friends, families, and even strangers. Isn’t this a great idea for Crochet Random Acts of Kindness?
