Nose
- Crochet in magic circle: 1 SC, 1 HDC, 3 DC, 3 HDC, 3 DC, 1 HDC, 1 SC, fasten off the circle (13)
- Fasten and cut the thread, join with the thread tail beginning and end of your work.
- Carefully secure the thread using the needle.
Heart
At first, you will make 2 cups, which will be joined together to make the heart.
- Rnd 1: 6 SC in MC (6)
- Rnd 2: (INC, 1 SC) X 3 times (9)
- Rnd 3: (INC, 2 SC) X 3 times (12)
- Rnd 4: (INC, 3 SC) X 3 times (15)
Cut the thread, leave a 15-20 cm long tail.
Similarly crochet the second cup, but do not cut the thread this time.
With the loop from the second cup on the hook, let's join the details to make the heart:
- Rnd 5: starting with the stitch next to the last one where you cut the thread, crochet 15 SC along the first cup. Now crochet 15 SC along the second cup (30)
Please note that the beginning of the row is at the heart's center. And if there is a hole in the place where two cups were joined, Sew it at this stage using the thread from the first cup.
- Rnd 6: 30 SC (30)
- Rnd 7: 7 SC, DEC, 13 SC, DEC, 6 SC (28)
- Rnd 8: 7 SC, DEC, 12 SC, DEC, 5 SC (26)
- Rnd 9: 7 SC, DEC, 11 SC, DEC, 4 SC (24)
- Rnd 10: 5 SC, 2 DEC, 8 SC, 2 DEC, 3 SC (20)
- Rnd 11: 4 SC, 2 DEC, 6 SC, 2 DEC, 2 SC (16)
- Rnd 12: 3 SC, 2 DEC, 4 SC, 2 DEC, 1 SC (12)
Stuff your heart at this point. I recommend stuffing the heart as tight as possible. When you finish stuffing, insert the stopper bead located at the cord's tail into the opening and continue to crochet:
- Rnd 13: 2 SC, 2 DEC, 2 SC, 2 DEC (8)
- Rnd 14: 4 DEC (4)
Fasten off and close the hole. Cut the thread hide yarn tail inside the detail.
Your key cover is ready! Enjoy it)
Ears
- Make two ears.
- Into MC: 3 CH, 8 DC.
Pull MC tight, but do not form the circle. Fasten and cut the thread, hide yarn tail inside the detail.
Assembling
At this point, finish the bear: sew the nose on, embroider the specks on the muzzle, and sew the muzzle to the main part. I sewed the muzzle on with the wrong side out.
Sew the ears and eyes on; embroider the brows with black thread. I placed the muzzle between rows 13 and 26. In this case, I recommend splitting the thread and using two out of four threads; the result will be neater rather than sewing with a thick thread.
Fix the cord on the ring, as shown in the photo. Feed the cord through the magic circle opening on the main item. Put a spare bead using as stop on to prevent the knot from slipping out when the item is in use, measure the comfortable length of the cord and tie a knot.
Cut the tails.
