Bear Keychain Crochet Instructions
Follow these detailed, step-by-step instructions to crochet your adorable no-sew bear keychain. We’ll begin by creating the ears, then move on to the main head structure, including a color change for the snout.
Crochet the Ears (Make 2)
You will create two identical ears using Ricorumi Nilli Nilli yarn in color 022 or 023. These ears are not stuffed.
- Round 1: Make 6 single crochet (sc) stitches in a magic ring (MR). Alternatively, chain 2 and make 6 sc in the second chain from the hook. (Total: 6 stitches)
- Round 2: Work 6 increases (inc) around. (Total: 12 stitches)
- Round 3: Single crochet (sc) in each of the 12 stitches around. (Total: 12 stitches)
After completing Round 3, chain 1. Fold the ear together so the stitches align. Make 6 single crochet (sc) stitches through both sides of the folded ear to close it. Fasten off (FO). There is no need to leave a long yarn tail. Do not stuff the ears.
