Inspiration
Like the Beginner HDC Coaster, this keychain pattern was created especially for teaching my beginner crochet classes. Starting out can be overwhelming but the keychain works up so quickly and the result is a fun project for learning how to crochet. It’s also such a great way to pass on new crochet skills!
If you want more beginner friendly pattern ideas and want to try your hand at a few new stitch combinations then be sure to check out a few of my other patterns shown below.
Design Details
The keychains can be made with about 8 yards of any worsted weight yarn and a 4.00 mm (G) hook. I’ve used an assortment of keychains from a metal split key ring, lobster claw or keychain clips. These key wristlets work up in about 30 minutes or less and look so cute in all the colors.
Like most of my other patterns you can personalize the keyring to your own taste by using a solid color yarn or a fun variegated yarn, you can even make them longer for a lanyard.
The keychains are worked in rows using the simple half double crochet stitch. Then bring the ends together and sew through stitches on both ends and over the metal ring a few times to finish your keychain. That’s it!
This crochet pattern is really easy to customize with the endless color options that are available in worsted weight yarn. The keychains shown above are made with all different yarns that I had on hand. I used I Love This Yarn in Gray Mist which is shown in the photo above.
Several of the yarns that I’ve used can be found on Amazon and if you want to check them out over there just click the photos below. **As an Amazon Associate I may earn from qualifying purchases.
