Welcome to the world of crochet! In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a cute and adorable back keychain using cotton yarn. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this pattern is perfect for everyone. I'm Anandra, the designer and owner of Toys Smuggler's Toys, and I'm thrilled to have you here with me. Let's dive right in and get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project. Here's a list of what you'll need:

• Cotton yarn (light blue, dark blue, white, black, or any colors of your choice)
• Velvet yarn (optional)
• 2.5mm crochet hook (or any hook size suitable for your yarn)
• Stitch marker
• Scissors
• Sewing needles
• Pins
• 5mm safety eyes (smaller or bigger, depending on your preference)
• Keychain ring
• 3 beads
• Stuffing

Making the Eyes

To start, we'll first work on the eyes of our keychain. Follow these steps:

1. Working the White Part:
   • Grab your white yarn and make a magic ring.
   • Single crochet six stitches into the ring.
   • Close the magic ring and continue to the next row.
   • Increase in each stitch, resulting in a total of 12 stitches.
2. Adding Safety Eyes:
   • Insert the safety eyes into the middle of each white part of the eye.
   • Secure them by fastening the backings.
   • Leave a long tail for sewing and cut off the remaining yarn.

Working on the Head Section

Now, let's move on to the head section of our keychain. Here's how to do it:

1. Choosing Yarn and Colors:
   • For the head section, I used a light blue yarn.
   • Feel free to choose any colors you prefer for your project.
2. Starting with a Magic Ring:
   • Make a magic ring and single crochet six stitches into the ring.
   • Close the magic ring and continue to the next row.
   • Increase in each stitch, resulting in a total of 12 stitches.
3. Increasing Stitches:
   • Single crochet into the first stitch and increase into the next one. Repeat this six times, ending with 18 stitches.
   • Follow the pattern instructions for each subsequent row, increasing the number of stitches as indicated.
4. Stuffing and Closing the Head:
   • As you work, stuff the head section with stuffing to give it a plush appearance.
   • Once you reach the desired size, close the head by decreasing the number of stitches.
   • Secure the yarn and weave in any loose ends.
