Can you resist an out-of-the-box crochet keychain idea? At least I can’t, so let me show you these creative keychain designs with step-by-step video patterns.
I have chosen both the flat and the amigurumi keychains with clever construction methods. Like see how to crochet a bow from a flat rectangle or a bow from an I-cord.
I have called them “Creative Keychains” because these are not based on usual themes.
Like see an amigurumi earth and sun keychain or an avocado buddy keychain. I am sure they will make irresistible presents, too.
Crochet Bow Keychain
Let’s crochet an elegant I-cord bow keychain with a toadstool mini mushroom for fall. All in red and white, it will also be an irresistible Valentine’s Day present for any girl.
The bow will be the viral knotted bow, which usually needs a row of chain stitches alone. But the I-cord is bulky and round like an actual twisted fibre cord and needs other stitches, too.
It looks beautiful and elegant, and it worked in easy flat rows. The miniature mushroom is my favorite part as it is no-sew and features 3D white spots. Will you crochet it?
Crochet Avocado Keychain
This avocado buddy keychain is funny, flat, and therefore, easy to crochet in 10 minutes. While the designer has presented it as an avocado applique, I thought it would work well as a keychain.
So, you can also make it as a hair clip add-on, fridge magnet, or a glass cozy charm for summer.
There are legs and arms crocheted separately, and also a belly that adds a 3Dness to the applique. Don’t finish it without blush cheeks.
Crochet Leaf Keychain
Learn the fast and simple method to crochet a 4-clover shamrock keychain with this pattern. You can also crochet a 3-clover leaf if you make a small adjustment in the pattern.
I recommend crocheting a pair in two shades of green, as when hung together, the contrast looks so elegant.
This can be easily finished in less than 10 minutes as I worked in one round.
Crochet Solar System Keychain
For Earth Day, let’s crochet this pair of stuffed Sun and Earth keychains with smiling faces and blush cheeks. While the Earth is worked as a traditional crochet sphere, the color pattern for the continents has to be followed carefully.
The designer has done a great job in this regard and simplified the color pattern for continents a lot.
We will crochet an 8-point sun with the middle part stuffed only. Both keychains are easy. It can also be a Teacher’s Day and Friendship Day gift.

Crochet Bow Charm Keychain
This is going to be the easiest and most clever method to crochet a coquette bow keychain. Learn how to turn two ribbed crochet rectangles into a mini bow keychain for girls. It also has enough size to be used as a hair tie or a hair clip.
To me, both the beige and the pink look nice, but you can also try it with a blue yarn. To rectengles should not be of the same length;
For the first one, you need 42 stitches, and 28 for the 2nd. In the end, fold and pinch the rectangle and sew.
Crochet Butterfly Keychain
For spring, let’s crochet these simple and easy butterfly hair clips with clever construction. That is to crochet a butterfly by working in flat rows, crocheting clusters for the wings, and joining in the end.
Luckily, there is no pattern for the body, as when you sew the antene the ends become the body. Isn’t it clever? You can choose from any color combo for the wing and antenna you can think of. Here are the designer’s recommendations:
- Green and Pink
- Yellow and Purple
- Brown and Hot pink
- Blue and Hot pink
I recommend crocheting as many as you can and then using them for different purposes.

Crochet Avocado Amigurumi Keychain
With this pattern, you can crochet a 3D version of an avocado buddy keychain. Many like this one more than an avocado applique, so I could not resist adding this one, too.
To crochet it in the end, you have to make two avocado appliques, work sides on the back applique, and sew them together.
This is not a difficult project and unlocks a new technique of crocheting toys like a watermelon keychain.
