Simple Crochet Flower Keychain Bag Free Pattern
A small crochet flower bag keychain offers both function and charm as a practical accessory for carrying small items such as lipstick, hair pins, or coins. Using simple techniques and two vibrant colors of Charme cotton yarn, this project builds up from a tidy center circle into layered petals and a flower shape. Each flower is worked separately, with thoughtful attention given to the shaping and outlining of each petal for a three-dimensional effect. Once completed, the two flowers are joined by sewing around the petals’ bases—creating a miniature pouch with an easily accessible opening. With clear rounds, visible increases, and textural highlights, this project proves approachable yet rewarding, resulting in a keychain bag that adds color and personality to any collection.
Quick Overview Of Pattern
- Work a tightly closed center circle for the flower’s middle.
- Build a round of double crochet “high points” for a solid flower base.
- Create five layered, dimensional petals using half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet stitches.
- Add shaping and curved volume with rounds of single crochet, half-double crochet, and double crochet (with repeated increases).
- Crochet a long chain handle on one flower, and a short loop on the second.
- Seam the two flowers together, leaving a scalloped pouch opening at the top.
Notes
- Maintain consistent tension and keep increases evenly spaced for symmetrical petals.
- The bag opening is formed by leaving the top petals unseamed.
- Two identical flowers are required; strap length distinguishes front and back.
- Weave in ends securely to ensure bag keeps its shape through use.
- All stitches are described in U.S. crochet terminology.
Skill Level
Adventurous Beginner to Intermediate: Experience with working in the round, increasing, treble/tall crochets, and basic seaming is recommended.
Materials
- Yarns: Charme cotton yarn, in white and yellow (Canary)
- Crochet Hook: Nickel-plated size 4
- Other Supplies: Scissors, yarn needle (for securing ends and seaming petals)
Measurements / Sizing
- Diameter of finished flower: Approximately 9–10 cm
- Total length with strap: Varies with chain length (approx. 13–15 cm)
- Small loop length: approx. 1.5 cm
Gauge
Gauge is not critical for this project. Stitches should be firm enough to hold the bag’s shape, but not too tight to prevent petal shaping.
Stitch Abbreviations
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- tr = treble crochet (tall stitch)

The Crochet Pattern
The Center Circle (Yellow)
- Round 1:
- Ch 5.
- Insert hook into the first chain and work a sl st to form a ring.
- Round 2:
- Ch 3 (counts as your first dc or “high point”).
- Work 14 more dc inside the ring. (Total: 15 stitches)
- Join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch-3.
- Fasten off the yellow yarn.
White Base Round
- Round 1:
- Attach white yarn to any dc (“high point”) with a sl st.
- Ch 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch (inc).
- Continue: Work 2 dc in each stitch around.
- Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch-3.
Petal Formation
- Each Petal: (Repeat x 5 for 5 petals)
- 1 hdc in next stitch
- 2 dc in the following stitch
- 2 tr (tall/double treble crochets) in next stitch
- 2 dc in the next stitch
- 1 hdc in the following stitch
- 1 sl st to finish and anchor the petal at the base
- Continue this petal sequence all the way around the base. Join the final petal with a sl st to the round’s starting point.
Petal Shaping and Outlining
For each petal:
- 1 sc in first stitch of the petal
- 1 hdc in next
- 2 dc in next stitch (inc)
- 2 dc in next stitch (inc)
- 2 dc in next stitch (inc)
- 2 dc in next stitch (inc)
- 1 hdc in next
- 1 sc in the following stitch
- 1 sl st into the dip (sl st from previous petal), anchoring into the center between petals
- Repeat for each petal around, joining final sl st at round end.
Final Edging and Elongated Stitches
For each petal:
- Skip first stitch, then sc into the hdc.
- Along the top of the petal, work 2 sc in each stitch (inc) a total of eight times to accentuate the curve.
- Make 1 sc into the next base stitch.
- Skip the next stitch, then elongated sc: insert the hook into the row below between petals and work a long single crochet.
- Continue this sequence around, repeating on each petal for a finished three-dimensional look.
Straps
- Long Strap (Front Flower):
- After final petal edging: Ch 40.
- Attach the end of this chain with a sl st into the same stitch at the petal tip or base.
- Ch 1, do not cut the yarn.
- Short Loop (Back Flower):
- Work a second, identical flower following steps 1–5.
- At the strap stage, ch 4 only, then attach back to the same point with a sl st.
- Ch 1 and cut the yarn.
Assembly & Finished Size
- Place the two flowers with wrong sides facing, aligning the petals.
- Use the yarn from the front flower’s long strap to sl st the two layers together around three petals (leave two petals open at the top for the bag’s opening).
- Match two loops or stitches from each flower petal while seaming, sl st through both layers for strength.
- Finish off, weave in and bury all yarn ends securely.
- Gently stretch and shape the bag, ensuring the top two petals form a neat opening.
Conclusion and Ending Words
