Pocketful of Sunshine: How to Crochet a Mini Daisy Keychain
Share
There is nothing quite like a daisy to bring an instant smile to your face! If you are looking for a quick, cheerful, and stash-busting project to dive into this weekend, this Crochet Daisy Keychain is the perfect match.
These little blooms work up incredibly fast, use very minimal yarn, and make fantastic gifts, bag charms, or additions to your market prep stock. Let's grab some scrap yarn and stitch a little bit of spring!
Materials Needed
-
Yarn: Small amounts of medium or sport-weight yarn in Yellow and White.
-
Crochet Hook: Sized appropriately to give your yarn a nice, tight tension (typically 2.5mm to 3.5mm).
-
Keychain Hardware: A jump ring and a split ring or lobster claw.
-
Tools: Pliers (for the jewelry hardware), a yarn needle, and scissors.
The Step-by-Step Guide
Start with your yellow yarn.
-
Round 1: Make a magic ring, work SC 6 into the ring (6).
-
Round 2: Inc in each stitch around (12).
-
Round 3: [SC, Inc] repeated around (18).
-
Round 4: [SC 2, Inc] repeated around (24).
Fasten off your yellow yarn.
Join your white yarn to any stitch on the outer edge of the yellow circle.
-
Work the petal sequence: [Ch 3, Hdc in the 1st chain, Sc into the same yellow stitch, Sl st to the next stitch].
-
Repeat this sequence 12 times all the way around the circle to create your 12 petals.
Fasten off and weave in all your loose yarn ends.
Using your pliers, carefully secure a jump ring through the top edge of one of your white petals. Attach your lobster claw or split keyring to the jump ring, snap it shut, and you are all done!
Crafter's Tip: Want a vintage look? Try swapping out the bright yellow center for a muted mustard yarn, or use pastel pinks and purples instead of white for a colorful wildflower bouquet!
