Making Your Crochet Butterfly Keychain
Materials Needed:
- Crochet hook size: 2mm
- Yarn of your choice
Step by step Pattern (Summary)
Foundation Chain:
Start by chaining 6 (ch 6).
Row 1:
- Slip stitch in the first chain to form a ring.
- Now, within the ring, chain 3 (ch 3) — this counts as your first double crochet (dc).
- Still within the ring, make 1 double crochet (dc 1).
- Chain 2 (ch 2), and within the ring, make 2 double crochet stitches (dc 2).
Row 2:
- Then, chain 8 (ch 8) and slip stitch into the third chain from the hook to form a loop.
- Within the same space, chain 1 (ch 1) and double crochet once (dc 1).
- Chain 2 (ch 2), and make 2 double crochet (dc 2) within the same space.
- Continue within the same space to make 2 double crochet stitches, chain 1, and 2 more double crochet stitches (2dc + 1ch + 2dc).
3:
- Slip stitch to the next space.
- Chain 3 (ch 3) and make 3 double crochet stitches (dc 3) in the same space.
- Again, chain 3 (ch 3) and make 1 slip stitch in the same space.
- Make 4 double crochet and 1 slip stitch within the same space.
Row 4:
- Make 4 double crochet (4 dc) in the same space, then chain 3 and slip stitch into the first chain of the 3 chains just created.
- Next, in the same space, make 4 double crochet and 1 slip stitch (4dc + 1slip).
- Repeat this series (4dc + 3ch +1slip + 4dc +1slip) 35 times or until your butterfly reaches the desired size.
Attach your butterfly to a keychain ring and weave in any loose ends to finalize your project. You could also use a tiny amount of stuffing to give the butterfly some dimension. Enjoy your new crochet butterfly keychain!
