How do you crochet a keychain?
There are a few styles of crocheted keychains.
- 1 – Simple wristband keyring holder;
- 2 – Little crochet applique;
- 3 – Small Amigurumi keychains.
In this roundup post, I’ll be focusing on free crochet keychain patterns that use small Amigurumi to make a keychain.
We’ll see anything from Amigurumi animals, food, back-to-school kind of items, and so much more.
What Materials do you need to crochet a Keychain?
For making a little Amigurumi keychain, you’ll always need these materials:
- A keyring to attach directly to your Amigurumi. You can easily find keyrings online or at your local craft store. Otherwise, just reuse the ones from old keychains!
- Your favorite yarn. Just a small amount is usually enough!
- Stuffing material;
- Safety eyes or embroidery thread for making the faces or details of your Amigurumi keychains;
- Tapestry needle;
- Scissors.
Alright, grab some scrap yarn (that will be enough for most of these keychains!), and let’s take a look at these free crochet keychain patterns!

I love these crochet keychains! They’re so cute and fun!
I agree!
I really love all the different options. I love it because I’m a small “business” if that’s what you want to call it and I love to make little amigurumi’s to sell! I don’t get to sell things often, but when I do, I’m so excited! Also, I’m only 12 and have made like maybe 30 or so bucks at a home school sale!
Super cute patterns! I can’t wait to try out these adorable keychains. They would make great gifts or something special for myself. 😍
