Introduction
Welcome to this tutorial on how to make your very own Miles Morales keychain using yarn. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of creating this adorable keychain using red and black yarn, along with a few other materials. Let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. You will need:
- Red and black yarn
- Red felt
- White paint
- 3 millimeter crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Making the Head
To start off, we will begin by making the head of our Miles Morales keychain. Follow these steps:
- Start with a magic ring of 8 stitches using black yarn.
- Close the magic ring with a slip stitch and make a chain to lift the fabric.
- Make a single crochet in the next stitch and mark it.
- Continue with an increase in each stitch to have a total of 16 stitches.
- Close the magic ring and continue with one single crochet and an increase, repeating 8 times to have 24 stitches.
- Continue with two single crochets and an increase, repeating 8 times to have 32 stitches.
- Make 8 rounds of 32 single crochets.
- Continue with two stitches and a decrease, repeating 8 times to have 24 stitches.
- Continue with one single crochet and a decrease, repeating 8 times to have 16 stitches.
- Make two single crochets and a decrease, repeating four times to have 12 stitches.
- Fill the head with stuffing and make two rounds of 12 single crochets.
- Continue with two stitches and an increase, repeating four times to have 16 stitches.
- Make three rounds of 16 single crochets.
Creating the Body
Once the head is complete, we will move on to creating the body. Follow these steps:
- Change to red yarn and make a chain to lift the fabric.
- Pass your crochet hook through the point and count 9 loops from where you have the hook.
- In the 9th loop, make a slip stitch to join the two points.
- Pass the hook through the next point in front and make a slip stitch.
- Continue making two rounds of 8 single crochets, surrounding only one of the holes.
Sewing the Spider
Now it's time to sew the spider design onto the body of our Miles Morales keychain. Follow these steps:
- Pass a black thread into the body of the keychain and take out the needle through the second loop made in the neck.
- Count four loops diagonally and pass the needle through that same loop on the other side.
- Pass the needle through the top loop diagonally, forming an X shape.
- Take out the needle in the center of this X shape and tie one of the legs.
- Fill the body with stuffing and use a yarn needle to pass it through the center of the low stitches, pulling to close.
- Make a couple of knots and hide the excess thread.
Making the Arms
Next, let's create the arms of our Miles Morales keychain. Follow these steps:
- Start with a magic ring of three stitches using red yarn.
- Close the magic ring with a slip stitch and switch to black yarn.
- Make an increase in each stitch to have six stitches.
- Make a round of six single crochets.
- Switch back to red yarn and finish with a row of six single crochets.
- Cut the thread and close. Repeat the steps to create a second arm.
Crafting the Hat
To complete the look of our Miles Morales keychain, let's make the hat. Follow these steps:
- Start with a ring of eight single crochets using red yarn.
- Make an increase in each stitch to have 16 stitches. Use the half double crochet stitch for this step.
- Continue with one single crochet and an increase, repeating 8 times to have 24 half double crochet stitches.
- Continue with two single crochets and an increase, repeating 8 times to have 32 mid-high stitches.
- Make four rounds of 32 mid-high stitches, and finish with a round of 32 single crochets.
- Cut the thread and close.
Attaching the Hat and Arms
Now that we have all the components of our Miles Morales keychain ready, let's attach the hat and arms. Follow these steps:
- Glue two slightly rounded half circles cut from red felt onto the head, with white paint in the center.
- Sew the arms to the sides of the body at the same height as the top part of the spider.
- Attach the hat to the head and sew it securely at the bottom on the neck.
