In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to create a cute and unique keychain that incorporates beads into its design. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this pattern is perfect for everyone. So grab your materials and let's get started!

Materials Needed

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

1. 10 beads
2. Crochet hook (G size)
3. Smaller crochet hook (C size)
4. Yarn (worsted weight in your preferred color)
5. Needle
6. Chain
7. Scissors

Getting Started

Now that we have everything we need, it's time to get started. First, let's load the 10 beads onto the chain. Once the beads are in place, we can begin crocheting.

Making the Bead Chain

To start, we'll create a magic circle or magic ring. This will serve as the foundation for our keychain. Insert your hook into the circle and slip stitch into it to secure the yarn. Next, we'll make nine single crochets into the circle. Once you have completed the nine single crochets, slip stitch into the first single crochet and fasten off.

Creating the Star Shape

Now, it's time to shape our keychain into a star. For the first row, we'll begin with a slip stitch, followed by a half double crochet, a double crochet, a chain one, another double crochet, and finally, a half double crochet. Slip stitch into the next stitch, skip the following stitch, and repeat the same pattern until the end of the row. Slip stitch into the first single crochet of the previous row.

Adding the Beads

To make our keychain more visually appealing, we'll add beads to the design. In each chain one space, we'll place a single crochet, chain four, and insert a bead. Repeat this pattern all the way around until you reach the starting point. Slip stitch into the first single crochet, fasten off, and secure the magic ring.

Finishing Touches

To complete the keychain, we'll weave in any loose ends and secure the chain. Use a needle to tack down the magic ring and weave in the chain. Additionally, you can attach a key ring or a clip to the keychain for convenience.

Variations and Color Combinations

Feel free to get creative with your keychain design by using different color combinations or adding various types of beads. The possibilities are endless, and you can personalize your keychain to suit your preferences.

And there you have it—a fidget star keychain that is not only fun to make but also practical to use. This keychain can serve as a stress reliever or a stylish accessory for your bags or keys.
