You know what you need? A crochet little lobster.

This pattern works up very quickly, there's an intermediate low (almost no) sew pattern, The core pattern is only 18 rows. It comes in a beginner pattern with plenty of sewing, too.

This one is free, I made it as part of a promotion for a comic book called LobStar on kickstarter! That comic has about a day left to be boosted, so you can check it out if you want. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/verybigcomics/lobstar-0/description
