How to Make a Pink-Haired Amigurumi Witch Keychain
Making a pink-haired amigurumi witch keychain is an exciting way to explore your creativity with crochet. The bright hair and enchanting features make this witch stand out as a unique and fun accessory.
First things first: the pink hair. That was what drew me to this project in the first place. I wanted to make a witch that wasn’t your typical “dark and spooky” kind — but one that was cute, fun, and full of personality. The pink yarn gave her a youthful, bubbly vibe that completely changed the look and feel of the piece. It’s amazing how just changing the hair color can make your witch go from gothic to pastel-core in a flash!
She fits right in the palm of your hand, but has SO much character packed into that tiny size. Her oversized hat, twirly hair, tiny boots, and sweet little smile… she’s just the kind of keychain that makes people stop and go, “Awww, where did you get that?!”
Instructions for a Pink-Haired Amigurumi Witch Keychain
The Pattern in a Nutshell
This witch keychain is built like a classic amigurumi:
- Head and Body: Worked in continuous rounds, nothing too tricky — increases and decreases are super gentle.
- Arms and Legs: Simple little tubes you stitch on after stuffing.
- Hair: Ahh, the pink curls! I used chains and slip stitches to create bouncy strands and then sewed them in layers around the head. It’s a bit fiddly but soooo worth it.
- Hat: Tall and pointed, made in the round. I added a little ruffle to the brim for some flair, and a silver star button on one side.
- Details: A tiny black dress (you can switch this for purple or even hot pink!), some boots, and of course, that keychain ring on top.
The best part? It takes only about 3–4 hours to complete, depending on how detailed you go. I worked on mine with a cup of tea and a cozy playlist in the background. It was pure crochet therapy.
