Ohhh my stars and spells! Let me tell you, making this crochet witch keychain was like weaving a little bit of magic right into my yarn. From her pointy little hat to her sweet tiny boots, every stitch brought this enchanting mini witch to life — and I fell completely in love with the process!
This is one of those Crochet Witch Keychain patterns that just fills your heart with joy — especially if, like me, you have a soft spot for Halloween, mystical vibes, or anything just plain whimsical.

How to Crochet Witch Keychain
Creating this crochet witch keychain is an enchanting project for crocheters of all skill levels. The pattern includes step-by-step instructions for crafting her hat, dress, and tiny broomstick, ensuring that every detail is just right. With a little bit of yarn and creativity, you’ll have a magical accessory ready to charm everyone around you!
I used worsted weight cotton yarn to give her a nice clean stitch definition, but honestly, you can play around with whatever yarn you have on hand. She looks adorable in traditional black and purple, but I’ve also made pastel witches, autumn witches, even a rainbow witch for Pride Month! Each one has her own personality, and that’s part of the magic.
Crochet Witch Keychain Crochet Pattern:
The pattern begins with the body and head, worked in one piece — so no worrying about attaching a wobbly head later! Then you move on to the hat, which is such a satisfying little cone to whip up. I added a tiny band around mine in a contrast color for that extra witchy flair. The arms and legs are crocheted separately and sewn on — and they’re so dinky and cute I could squeal!
What really brings her to life, though, is the face and the details. I used tiny black safety eyes (you could also embroider them), gave her a little smile with some embroidery floss, and even stitched on a few strands of yarn for hair. For some of them, I added little braids or curls! I also sewed on a tiny felt cape on one version, and let me tell you… adorable overload.
Once she’s assembled, all that’s left is attaching the keychain hardware. I used a simple metal loop with a lobster clasp so I can clip her onto my keys, bags, or even my rearview mirror for a spooky-cute car charm!
This crochet witch keychain is a huge hit at craft fairs and in gift baskets. People love her for Halloween of course, but honestly, witches are in year-round — especially for those of us who live by the moon and keep a little magic in our hearts.

One tip I’d give you: keep your tension nice and tight, especially for the head and body, so your stuffing doesn’t peek through. And don’t be afraid to make it your own — add a broomstick charm, give her a mini cauldron, or stitch a moon and star on her hat. I promise, you’ll start thinking of her as a tiny character in your own enchanted storybook.
