Introduction
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make a mini Spider Gwen keychain. This project is super easy and perfect for beginners. The finished product is super tiny, measuring approximately 10 centimeters in size. So, let's gather our materials and get started!
Materials Needed
To make this mini Spider Gwen keychain, you will need the following materials:
- White yarn
- Black yarn
- Pink yarn
- Blue yarn (optional)
- Stuffing
- Felt paper (optional, for the eyes)
- Paint (white and pink)
- Crochet hook (3-millimeter size)
Making the Head
To begin, we will start by making the head of our mini Spider Gwen. We will use white yarn for this part. Start with a magic ring and crochet 8 stitches into it. Close the ring with a slip stitch and chain to lift the fabric. Then, make another single crochet in the first stitch. Continue to increase in each stitch for a total of 16 stitches.
Continue with one stitch and an increase, repeating 8 times to have 24 stitches. Then, continue with two stitches and an increase, repeating 8 times to have 32 stitches. Crochet 8 rounds of 32 single crochets. Next, decrease one stitch for every two stitches, repeating 8 times to have 24 stitches.
Continue with one stitch and one decrease, repeating 8 times to have 16 stitches. Then, do two stitches and one decrease, repeating four times to have 12 stitches. Crochet two rounds of 12 single crochets.
Change to black yarn and make a single crochet, but do not finish it. Change back to white yarn and complete the single crochet. Make a single crochet in white and make an increase in the second stitch.
Then, alternate between a single crochet in black and white, increasing in every other black stitch. Finally, make a single crochet and an increase in black color. By the end of this round, you will have 16 stitches.
Making the Body
To make the body, use black yarn. Crochet a round of 16 single crochets. Then, fill in the body with stuffing. Now, we will create a chain to lift the fabric and turn the body over. Count 8 stitches from right to left, excluding the starting point. Link the hook through the 9th stitch from the front to the back and make a slip stitch.
Pass the hook through the next stitch on one side from front to back and make another slip stitch. This will create a figure-eight shape with 8 stitches on each side. Make a chain and crochet a single crochet in the next stitch, marking it. Complete 7 more single crochets to complete the 8 stitches.
Crochet one more round of 8 single crochets, then cut and close the yarn. Change the color to light blue and crochet one more round of 8 single crochets. Cut and close the yarn. Repeat this process on the other side to complete the two legs.
Making the Little Arms
To make the little arms, start with a magic ring of three points using white yarn. Increase in each point to have six points. Close the magic ring and change to pink color. Make three stitches in pink before changing back to white and making the last stitch in white. Repeat two white stitches, three pink stitches, and one white stitch. Cut and close the yarn. Make two identical arms.
Making the Hat
To make the hat, start with a magic ring of 8 white stitches. Crochet half double crochets and increase in each stitch to have 16 stitches. Continue with a half double crochet and an increase, repeating 8 times to have 24 stitches.
Make two half double crochets and an increase, repeating 8 times to have 32 stitches. Crochet four rounds of 32 half double crochets in white.
Making the Eyes
To make the eyes, cut half a circle from white and pink felt fabric. Round the upper part of the circle. Paint the eyes with white and a pink outer border. Glue the eyes to the face, trying to position them in the center from top to bottom with a few stitches separating them.
Finishing Touches
Place the hat on the head of our mini Spider Gwen and sew it to the back of the neck. Sew the little arms one row above where we started with black color, facing the pink part downwards. Sew the legs closed with the help of a needle and yarn, passing it through the front thread of all the stitches.
