Crochet Keychain Frequently Asked Questions
How do you crochet a keychain?
You can make a keychain out of any crochet or amigurumi pattern by adding a simple ball chain and lobster clasp to your amigurumi. You can find lobster clasps and ball chains online or at a local craft store.
Otherwise, just reuse the ones from old keychains! You can make your keychains in your favorite color. With the beautiful colors of yarn available, you can have one for every day of the week!
What yarn is best for crochet keychains?
When choosing yarn, I prefer cotton because it is durable, easy to wash, and comes in a variety of colors. However, any yarn will work just fine! Keep in mind that if you use a heavier weight yarn than the pattern calls for, your keychain will be larger.
If you use a lighter yarn than the pattern calls for, your keychain will be smaller. In fact, you can use this trick to resize your keychains — just make sure to use the appropriate hook size for the yarn.
Can you easily crochet a keychain?
There are so many different types of keychains that you can find a pattern for every skill level. Gauge isn’t really that important for this type of project, you use a small quantity of yarn and you use mostly basic stitches such as chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), and occasionally a treble crochet (tr).
How long does it take to crochet a keychain?
It depends on the pattern, as well as your speed! However, most of the keychains in this list work up from 30 minutes to a couple of hours. So they’re perfect last-minute gifts to crochet.
What else can crochet keychains be used for?
The fun thing is that when you make one of these crochet keychains, you can use it for many other things as well. For example, you could hang one on your kid’s backpack for school, use it as a little charm, or use it to fix a broken zipper!
