Step by step Pattern
Front of the Flower:
- Round 1: Create a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the ring.
- Round 2: Perform an increase (2 sc in each stitch) in each of the 6 st from the previous round for a total of 12 sc.
- Round 3: 1 sc in the next stitch, then an increase in the following stitch. Repeat – six times in total, ending up with 18 stitches. Close this round with a slip stitch into the next st and place a marker here for later reference. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail.
Attach the Safety Eyes and Mouth:
- Attach the small safety eyes to the front piece where desired.
- Using the black yarn, embroider a smiling mouth as described in the text. Secure the ends on the inside.
Back of the Flower:
- Repeat the front of the flower steps, but without attaching eyes or a mouth.
Joining the Front and Back:
- Tie the tails of the magic rings and other tails together and then trim them.
- Line up both the front and back pieces, making sure that the marked stitches align.
- Using your petal color yarn, crochet both pieces together beginning at the marked stitches. Chain 1 to secure, and single crochet around the edges of both pieces, leaving a small opening for stuffing.
- Stuff the flower lightly with polyfill, then continue to single crochet to close up, ending with a slip stitch into the first stitch of joining.
Crocheting the Petals:
- Round 1: In the next stitch, start with a slip stitch and chain 2, then work 3 double crochet (dc) into that same stitch, chain 2, and slip stitch into the same stitch.
- Skip the next stitch.
- Round 2: Repeat the process of creating petals by doing slip stitch, chain 2, 3 dc, chain 2, and slip stitch into the same stitch, skipping one stitch in between each petal.
- Continue this pattern around the perimeter of the flower to create 9 petals in total.
Finish and Attach Keychain:
- After the last petal, cut the yarn and weave in any tails.
- Shape out the petals as desired.
- Attach the keychain hardware to the center or top of the flower using leftover yarn tails, securely sewing several stitches before weaving in the ends.
Final Note:
- Your flower keychain should now be complete, and you can customize it with different keychain lengths as preferred.
