How to Make an Adorable Crochet Penguin Keychain
The crochet penguin keychain is a delightful addition to any keyring or bag. With simple stitches and a touch of creativity, this project is not only easy but incredibly fun to make. The final result is a cute penguin that will bring smiles wherever it goes.
Black, white, and yellow yarn (appropriate thickness for amigurumi)
Crochet hook size appropriate for yarn (usually 2.5 mm or 3 mm)
Safety eyes (6mm or 8mm)
Yarn needle
Keychain ring with a clasp
Polyester fiberfill (for stuffing)
Stitch marker (optional)
Step 1: Crochet the Body
Start with a magic ring using black yarn. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
Increase in each stitch around until you have 36 stitches.
Continue crocheting in rounds without increasing for a few more rows to form the body.
Change to white yarn and crochet the belly area, working a few more rounds.
Once you’ve reached the desired body length, begin decreasing to close up the bottom. Stuff with fiberfill before fully closing.
Step 2: Head and Eyes
For the head, continue from the top of the body, starting with black yarn. Crochet a small sphere using the same method as the body, increasing and then decreasing. Insert the safety eyes before fully closing the head.
Embroider blush cheeks using a soft pink yarn or felt.
Step 3: Beak and Wings
Use yellow yarn to create a small triangle for the beak. Crochet a tiny chain and attach it to the center of the face.
For the wings, crochet two small black ovals. Attach them to each side of the body using a yarn needle.
Step 4: Assemble the Keychain
Use your yarn needle to sew all parts together securely.
Attach the penguin to the keychain ring by sewing or looping a piece of yarn through the top of its head and around the ring.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
Make sure all pieces are tightly fastened. Weave in any loose yarn ends, and your crochet penguin keychain is ready!
