Ribbon Crochet Accessory Pattern
Step 1: Creating the Ribbon
- Foundation Chain
- Start with a loose slip knot.
- Chain two. (Do not pull tight.)
- Base Loop
- Insert your hook into the second stitch of the chain but do not YO or pull through yet.
- Insert the hook into the next stitch (third chain).
- Pull tight the first yarn loop. You should now have three loops on the hook.
- Securing Loops
- Hold the loops tightly and remove the hook.
- Place the hook into the first loop, YO, and pull through. Repeat this for the second loop and the third loop.
- Repeat
- Repeat this process until the ribbon reaches your desired length (suggested: 14 inches).
- Ensure constant tension is maintained to avoid loose stitches.
- Closing the Ribbon
- At the end of the ribbon, YO through the first two loops, then YO through the last two loops.
- Cut any excess yarn using scissors and secure the final loop using the tying trick (insert the yarn tail into the loop and tighten).
Step 2: Shaping the Ribbon
- Fold the crocheted piece into a bow-like ribbon shape.
- Take a matching yarn color and wrap it around the middle of the folded ribbon. Secure it tightly.
- Cut any excess yarn with scissors.
Step 3: Assembling the Keychain
- Attach a jump ring to the top of the ribbon crochet.
- Insert the keychain charm holder through the jump ring.
- For extra embellishments, attach a pearl ribbon (created separately) to the main crochet ribbon using copper wire.
Pearl Ribbon Assembly
Step 1: Creating Pearl Components
- Cut 12 inches of copper wire.
- Insert 15 medium-sized pearls into the wire.
- Add 1 large-sized pearl as the center, folding the wire in half and inserting it back through the large pearl to form structure.
Step 2: Securing Structure
- Wrap wire around the beads to secure the ribbon body.
- Using medium-sized pearls, create the tail design by adding 11 pearls to the wire.
- Repeat the process for the second side of the ribbon tail.
Step 3: Attaching the Pearl Ribbon
- Use wire to attach the pearl ribbon to the crochet ribbon at its center.
- Secure and cut excess wire.
Fluffy Heart Keychain Pattern

- Ch 3, then create 3 TC into the ring.
Step 2: Forming the First Half

Step 3: Closing the Heart
- After the second set of 3 TC, finish with Ch 3.
- Sl st into the ring to close.
- Pull tight the magic ring to form the complete heart shape.
Step 4: Adding Texture
- Using coral fleece, make a slip stitch at the center of the heart edge.
- Crochet back loop-only SC continuously around the heart.
Step 5: Assembling the Keychain
- Attach to the keychain charm by inserting the yarn through the holder.
- Wrap and tie securely.
