Introduction
Welcome to this crochet tutorial where we will be making a cute mini dress keychain. This adorable accessory can also be used as a nail polish holder or a sanitizer holder. In this step-by-step guide, you will learn how to crochet the dress, add a scalloped border, and create a bow. So grab your hooks and let's get started!
Materials Needed
To complete this project, you will need the following materials:
- Size 2.5 crochet hook
- Yarn
- Scissors
1. Making the Slip Stitch and Chain
To begin, make a slip stitch and chain 20. The slip stitch should be made from the very first stitch you made. Then, chain three which will not be included in the count. Inside the ring, make 35 double crochet stitches.
2. Creating the Double Crochet Ring
After making the chain three, continue making double crochet stitches inside the ring. Make a total of 35 double crochet stitches. Once completed, slip stitch on top of the chain to close the ring.
3. Making the Single Crochet Circle
Chain one and make single crochet stitches around the circle. You can use a marker to keep track of your stitches. Make one single crochet on each chain. Slip stitch on the first chain from the beginning to secure.
4. Adding the Single Crochet Edging
Chain one and make single crochet nine times. This will create the top of the dress. Skip eight chains and make ten single crochet stitches on the next chain. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.
5. Working on the Top of the Dress
Continue working on the top of the dress by chaining three and making double crochet stitches around the dress. There is no increase in this row, just one double crochet stitch in each chain.
6. Creating the Sleeves
Next, we will work on the sleeves. Begin with a slip stitch and then make single crochet increase stitches. This means making one single crochet in the first chain, followed by two single crochet stitches in the next chain. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the sleeve.
7. Adding the Scalloped Border
Now it's time to add a scalloped border to the dress. Connect a different color of yarn and start by making a single crochet in the first chain. Skip one chain and make five double crochet stitches in the next chain. Repeat this pattern until you complete the round.
8. Making the Bow
To create the bow, make a chain of 40. Once completed, connect the ends to form a loop. This will serve as the bow for the keychain.
