Introduction

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make an adorable Oogie Boogie keychain using yarn and a few other materials. This cute little character is perfect for Tim Burton fans and can be a fun and unique addition to your keychain collection. So, grab your materials and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials and tools we'll need to make our Oogie Boogie keychain. Here's what you'll need:

• Brown or beige yarn
• Black yarn
• Felt or black fabric
• Black thread
• Filling
• 3 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle

Making the Legs

To start, we'll make the legs of our Oogie Boogie keychain. Using the brown or beige yarn, create a magic ring of three points. Close the ring and mark the first point. Continue by making an increase in each point to have six points. Close the magic ring and finish with two points and an increase, repeating twice. Cut eight stitches and close, creating one leg. Repeat this process to make a second leg.

Creating the Body

Now, let's move on to creating the body of our Oogie Boogie keychain. With the same color of yarn, make eight chains. Make one more chain to lift the fabric and create three rows of eight single crochets. Once you finish, you'll have a rectangular shape. Make a little chain on one of the sides and take one of the legs through the center. Attach the leg by making a single crochet, joining the pieces. Repeat this step for the other leg. Continue by making eight single crochets on the short side, repeating the process for the other leg. Finish with eight single crochets on the last long side. At the end, you'll have 24 points.

Making the Mouth

To make the mouth of our Oogie Boogie keychain, we'll need to change to black yarn. Knit through the front thread of the stitches, making a round of 20 single crochets. Next, make 10 chains, turn the fabric, and create eight stitches in the 9th point. Make a slipped stitch in the next point and mark it. Continue with eight single crochets, then make 10 single crochets on the chain we previously created, using the front thread. Continue with eight single crochets and four stitches and a decrease, repeating three times to have 15 stitches. Make a round of 15 stitches, placing a stitch marker on the ear for reference.

Adding the Eyes and Eyelids

Now, it's time to add the eyes to our Oogie Boogie keychain. Cut two small triangles from felt or black fabric and attach them to the face. To create the eyelids, use the same color of yarn that we used for Oogie Boogie's body. Sew the eyelids above the eyes, giving our keychain a mischievous look.

Making the Arms

To create the arms of our Oogie Boogie keychain, start with a magic ring of three points. Make an increase in each point to have six points. Close the magic ring and continue with a round of six single crochets. Next, make two points and an increase, repeating twice to have eight stitches. Finish with three rounds of eight single crochets. Repeat this process to make a second identical arm.

Sewing the Arms and Eyes

Sew the arms to the sides of the body, just below the mouth. Then, sew around the little arms to secure them in place. Use a yarn needle to pass through the front thread of all the stitches and pull it towards the top of Oogie Boogie. Finally, sew the eyes by taking the threads from the top and upper part of the face to create the desired effect.

Final Touches

Now that our Oogie Boogie keychain is almost complete, let's finish up the remaining details. Fill the body with filling material to give it a soft and plushy feel. Continue by making three stitches and a decrease, repeating three times to have 12 stitches. Make a round of 12 single crochets, then four single crochets and a decrease, repeating twice to have 10 stitches. Follow with three stitches and a decrease, repeating twice to have eight stitches. Finish with three rounds of six single crochets. Cut the thread, close the piece, and admire our finished Oogie Boogie keychain.
