How to Make Adorable Crochet Keychains

Crochet keychains are a fun and creative way to add a personalized touch to your belongings or gift them to someone special. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to create three adorable crochet keychains: a fish cake, star charms, and a pudding. These keychains are perfect for adding a pop of color and cuteness to your keys, bags, or even as decorations.

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the crochet patterns, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project. Here's a list of the main materials:

• Yarn (white, pink, brown, and yellow)
• Crochet hook (size will depend on your yarn weight)
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Keychain rings or clips (optional)
• Hot glue gun or sewing needle and thread (for assembly)

Now that we have everything we need, let's get started on our crochet keychains!

Fish Cake Crochet Keychain

Making the Magic Ring

To begin creating the fish cake crochet keychain, we'll start with a magic ring. This technique creates a tight and seamless center for our crochet piece. Follow these steps:

1. Hold the yarn end with your non-dominant hand, leaving a long tail.
2. Create a small loop, crossing the working yarn over the tail.
3. Insert your crochet hook through the loop and grab the working yarn, pulling it through the loop.
4. Chain 1 to secure the ring.

Round 1: Single Crochets

Now that we have our magic ring, we'll work our first round of single crochets. Single crochet stitches (sc) are the basic stitch used in this pattern. Follow these steps:

1. Insert your hook into the center of the magic ring.
2. Yarn over and pull up a loop, having two loops on your hook.
3. Yarn over again and pull through both loops, completing one single crochet.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for a total of 10 single crochets.

Round 2: Single Crochet and Increase

In the second round, we'll increase the stitch count by combining a single crochet with an increase. Follow these steps:

1. Make one single crochet in the first stitch.
2. Make an increase by working two single crochets into the next stitch.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 for a total of 15 stitches.

Round 3: Single Crochet and Increase

Our third round follows a similar pattern of single crochets and increases. Follow these steps:

1. Make one single crochet in the first stitch.
2. Make an increase by working two single crochets into the next stitch.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 for a total of 22 stitches.
4. End the round with a single crochet instead of an increase.

Creating the Swirl

Now, we'll create the swirl pattern on top of the fish cake keychain. Follow these steps:

1. Make a slip stitch into the next stitch to position your hook.
2. Begin making a half double crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch.
3. Make a slip stitch in the next stitch.
4. In the following stitch, make a half double crochet, double crochet, and single crochet in the same stitch.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 around the round until you reach the end.

Joining the Swirl and Fish Cake

To complete the fish cake crochet keychain, we'll join the swirl with the main body. Follow these steps:

1. Make a slip stitch to end the swirl.
2. Fasten off and weave in the loose ends.
3. Repeat the entire process to make another fish cake crochet piece.
4. Sew or hot glue the two fish cakes together, leaving a small space for stuffing.
5. Once the pieces are secured, stuff the keychain with fiberfill.
6. Close the opening by sewing or gluing it shut.
7. Attach your preferred style of keychain and decorate the fish cake any way you like. Consider adding a bow or embellishments for added cuteness.

Star Charms

Adding star charms to your keychain collection can enhance the overall charm and aesthetic. Here's how to create these cute star-shaped keychains:

Making the Magic Ring

Start by creating a magic ring as we did for the fish cake keychain.

Round 1: Single Crochets

Make five single crochets into the center of the magic ring.

Round 2: Increase

In this round, we'll increase the stitch count by making two single crochets in each stitch.
