Crochet Flower Keychain – Step-by-Step Pattern
Today I’ll show you an idea for a crochet keychain with a flower motif. This design is vibrant, super simple, and very quick to make—ideal for a fun colorful accessory using yarn scraps.
Pattern Highlights
- Quick Circular Motif: Uses two flower discs joined for durability and plushness.
- Dimensional Petals: Each petal is worked through both flower discs, forming a thick, neat outline.
- Face Embellishments: Bead eyes and an embroidered mouth add personality.
- Built-in Hanging Loop: Easily attach to keyrings or bags.
- Customizable: Mix and match colors, add blush or beads, vary expressions.
Notes
- The pattern includes sewing and embroidery details for the face.
- Petals are crocheted joining the two discs from the start for sturdiness.
- Leave a gap before final petals to add stuffing.
- Use tiny beads or safety eyes for the face, and fine yarn/thread for embroidery.
- Picot at the top of each petal creates a clean, pointed effect.
- The loop can be omitted if you prefer to use a metal ring or chain.
- Gauge is not critical—work with a tight, neat tension for best results.
Skill Level
Beginner.
You only need basic stitches (magic ring, double crochet, chains, slip stitch), simple embroidery, and easy sewing.
Materials
- Yarn: multiple colors for flower and face, plus a tiny bit of red for mouth
- Crochet hook (compatible with yarn, e.g. 2.5–3.5mm)
- Yarn needle and fine sewing needle
- Small beads or safety eyes
- Fine thread (optional, for sewing beads)
- Polyester stuffing (a small amount)
- Keychain ring
- Small bead or blush (optional for decoration)
Measurements / Sizing
- Flower diameter: approx. 4–6 cm (varies with yarn/hook)
- Hanging loop: approx. 5 cm (20 chains)
Gauge (and Stitch Pattern)
- Gauge is not critical; tight stitches help keep the stuffing secure and the petals firm.

Crochet Guide
Flower Center (Make 2)
Round 1:
- MR, ch 2 (does not count as dc), 13 dc into ring (total = 13).
- Pull ring tight, sl st in top of first dc (not chains).
Round 2:
- Ch 2, 2 dc in each stitch (13 increases: 26 dc).
- Do not count starting chains as dc.
- At end: cut yarn, thread tail onto tapestry needle.
- For invisible join:
- Pass needle through second dc (after chains), pull to back, then back into last stitch (through chains and back loop), adjust, knot softly, weave in.
Repeat for second disc.
Embroidery – Face
- Sew bead/safety eyes onto first disc using fine thread and needle, positioning eyes one or two rows down from center.
- With red yarn/thread, embroider mouth: insert needle from back to front below magic ring, exit two stitches diagonally, then re-enter near original point—creates a small smile.
- Optionally add blush under eyes.
- Secure and weave in all thread tails.
Joining & Petals
Forming Hanging Loop:
- Stack discs, insert hook between eyes.
- Ch 20 (for loop).
- Insert hook back in same spot through both discs, sl st to secure loop.
Making Petals (Repeat):
- Ch 2, yarn over, insert hook through same space of both discs, dc.
- Ch 3, sl st in top two strands of preceding dc (picot).
- Yarn over, insert through same space, dc again; repeat for one more dc in same spot (2 more dc).
- Skip one stitch on both discs, insert hook in next stitch through both discs, sl st.
- Repeat from step 1 for each petal, working around flower, until you leave a gap for stuffing.
- Stuff lightly.
- Continue petals until fully closed.
- At last petal, join to base of first petal with a sl st. Cut yarn, pull loop, thread tail onto tapestry needle, weave in back, knot securely.
Assembly & Finished Size
