Fidget Toy Crochet Patterns

Whether you’re looking for a crochet mobius tutorial, how to make a marble maze, or a crochet fidget toy with beads, this post is for you! These fidgets are super quick to make, and easy too. Once you get the hang of them, they work up easily and you’ll be able to knock a bunch of them out for donation or for selling at craft fairs.

This is the eighth installment of the 2025 Donation Crochet Series. On the second Friday of each month there is a NEW pattern added to the series that is an item you can donate.

We’ve had Walker Organizers, Comfort Blankets, Slippers, and more. These fidgets are a great thing to make en masse and distribute to a school, church, or local oncology unit, etc. Something to fiddle with!

For this month’s pattern we’re getting several in one. There is a Spiral Marble Maze fidget toy that works by moving a marble ball in a spiral around and around.

The Mobius crochet fidget toy is basically an infinity loop of crochet stitches that will keep the hands busy for hours.

The Beaded Keychain is a great crochet fidget toy that will be with you always when you have your keys! Or hang from a backpack to keep it handy. Play with the beads to your hearts content!

Now let’s make some of these crocheted fidgets. If you need help reading a crochet pattern, make sure you head over here and check out this detailed post.
