Witch Doll Keychain

Okay, fellow yarn lovers — I have to gush about this Adorable Witch Doll Keychain I just finished crocheting! She turned out so sweet and tiny, I honestly didn’t want to stop at just one.

You know those projects that just spark joy as soon as you start stitching them? This was definitely one of them. She’s the perfect mix of cute and magical — more Kawaii witch than spooky witch — and I loved giving her all the little details that make her feel alive.

How to Crochet an Adorable Witch Doll Keychain

This witch doll keychain is made using basic amigurumi techniques, and the detailed features bring this tiny witch to life. Follow the steps below to craft your own charming crochet witch.

I used a soft cotton yarn in vibrant purples and blacks, with a splash of orange for her accessories. Her dress flares out just a bit, and that teeny tiny hat? Oh my goodness. Crocheting that little witch hat was probably my favorite part — it instantly gave her all the charm and sass she needed. I added a little ribbon bow to mine because, why not? A witch can be stylish too!

She’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, which makes her perfect for keychains, bag charms, or even Halloween party favors. I attached a sturdy silver lobster clasp to the top, so she’s easy to clip onto whatever needs a little handmade magic.

If you’re gifting these or selling at markets, be warned — people love them. I made one for my niece, and now all her friends want one. I’ve even had grown-ups ask if they can get her in different outfits, like a Christmas witch or even a rainbow witch!
