Crochet Flower Keychain Tutorial
The video begins with a warm greeting and a special mention of the artisan Renata Chaves, from whom the project idea was inspired. The presenter explains that the tutorial will teach viewers how to make a lovely flower keychain for Mother’s Day.
Materials Used
The materials include Amigurumi yarn in mustard for the flower center, Barroco Multicolor green for the leaves, and Off White Amigurumi for the petals. Crochet hooks of sizes 3.0 mm and 3.5 mm are used depending on the yarn thickness. A tapestry needle, a size six pearl, and scissors are also needed.
Creating the Flower Center
The work starts with a magic ring in mustard yarn using the 3.0 mm hook. The artisan forms a round base by making 17 double crochets inside the ring, ending with 18 stitches including the initial chains. This forms the foundation for the flower.Adding the Leaves
Switching to the green Barroco yarn and the 3.5 mm hook, the leaves are made using a combination of chain stitches, triple treble crochets, double crochets, and half double crochets. The presenter emphasizes symmetry—starting with taller stitches and decreasing to shorter ones, then repeating in reverse to mirror the leaf on the opposite side.Keychain Loop Formation
A loop is created with 12 chains to hold the keyring. It is secured with a slip stitch and neatly integrated into the design.
Creating the Petals
The work returns to the back side of the flower, using the Off White yarn and the 3.0 mm hook. Petals are built on chain arches formed behind the green base. Each petal consists of four double crochets, framed by a chain and a slip stitch.Decorative Layer with Picots
A second layer of petals is added above the first. These petals include decorative picot stitches formed with chains and slip stitches. This layer adds dimension and a lace-like detail to the piece.Finishing Touch with a Pearl
A size six pearl is glued in the center using Pega Mil glue, which the artisan highly recommends. The pearl symbolizes elegance and refinement, making the keychain more special.
Securing & Hiding Ends
The artisan carefully weaves in and secures all yarn ends, adding small knots and optionally using fabric glue for durability. She emphasizes neat finishing for a professional look.Gift Ideas & Final Thoughts
The instructor suggests this project is a great handmade gift not just for Mother’s Day, but also for baby showers or visits to new moms. She encourages viewers to experiment with different yarns and sizes and reminds them to like, comment, and subscribe for more tutorials.
