About the pattern

If you know anyone who can’t stand still no matter how many times they are told to stop moving, who jump around, click pens, shake their legs, tap or touch things incessantly, that’s exactly who this toy is for.

This toy is inspired by the origami hexaflexagon, a three-dimensional piece that is turned in one of both directions, revealing four different faces made up of three diamonds.

The best thing is that you can just throw it in the washing machine when it starts looking less than pristine.

Since it’s such a simple project, you can make many of these and gift them to local organizations, not just people in your family or circle of friends. They will surely be appreciated.

Technical notes

The pattern is suitable for beginner crocheters with a few projects under their belt. I would not recommend this as your first crochet project, but it can be done.

The pattern includes US and UK terms and comes with full instructions and photos. You shouldn’t have any issues making one of these toys in no time if you’ve made amigurumi before.

If you want to print the pattern, you only need to print two pages, which are super printer friendly, since they only consist of text, as you can see from the pattern preview.
