How to Make a Crochet Mummy Keychain
Your crochet mummy keychain will surely impress with its adorable wrapped design. It’s a unique way to add a bit of fun and personality to your everyday accessories. This project is simple enough for beginners and delightful for experienced crafters looking for a quick, themed project.
Start with grey yarn to crochet the head using a magic ring, increasing stitches in rounds until you have a small sphere. This will form the face under the bandages. Place the black safety eyes or beads onto the head and embroider a small smile with black yarn.
Step 2: Body
Using grey yarn, crochet the body in a cylindrical shape, making it slightly smaller than the head. Stuff both the head and body with fiber filling before sealing the tops. Attach the head to the body securely.
Step 3: Wrapping the Bandages
With white yarn, create long chains or thin strips by crocheting rows. Wrap these strips around the head and body in a criss-cross pattern to mimic the look of bandages. Secure the strips with stitches at key points to keep them in place.
Step 4: Arms and Legs
Crochet the arms and legs in white yarn, keeping them small and stubby. Attach these limbs to the body securely. You can wrap additional “bandage” strips over them for a unified look.
Step 5: Accent with Brown Rope
To add extra detailing, crochet or use brown yarn to create thin ropes and wrap them around the body in a cross shape. Secure the ends to keep the design intact.
Step 6: Assembly
Ensure the figure is well-stuffed and all parts are securely attached. Attach the keychain ring to the top of the mummy’s head.
Step 7: Final Touches
Make any adjustments needed to the wrapping or details and ensure the face is visible between the “bandages.” Check that the keychain attachment is sturdy.
