Creating crochet alphabet keychains is a fun and creative way to personalize your keys or make thoughtful handmade gifts for friends and family. Below, I’ll provide a basic pattern and description for crocheting the letters “O” and “S.” You can adjust the size and color of your keychains according to your preferences.

Materials Needed:

  1. Yarn: You can use any color and weight of yarn you prefer. For keychains, it’s best to use a durable yarn like cotton or acrylic.
  2. Crochet Hook: Choose an appropriate hook size for your yarn. Typically, a 3.5mm to 5mm hook works well with worsted weight yarn.
  3. Scissors: For cutting the yarn.
  4. Yarn Needle: To weave in ends.
  5. Keychain Rings: You can find these at craft stores or online.

Crochet Stitches Used:

  1. Chain (CH): Create a slipknot, yarn over, and pull through the loop on your hook.
  2. Single Crochet (SC): Insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on your hook.
  3. Slip Stitch (SL ST): Insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull through both the stitch and the loop on your hook.

Pattern for the Letter “O”:

  1. Start with a magic ring or chain 4 and slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring.
  2. Round 1: Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch), make 8 single crochets into the ring. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (8 SC)
  3. Round 2: Chain 1, make 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (16 SC)
  4. Round 3: Chain 1, make 1 single crochet in the next stitch, then make 2 single crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (24 SC)
  5. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Use the tail to sew the “O” onto the keychain ring.

Pattern for the Letter “S”:

  1. Start with a magic ring or chain 4 and slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring.
  2. Round 1: Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch), make 6 single crochets into the ring. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (6 SC)
  3. Round 2: Chain 1, make 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (12 SC)
  4. Round 3: Chain 1, make 1 single crochet in the next 3 stitches, then make 2 single crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (15 SC)
  5. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Use the tail to sew the “S” onto the keychain ring.

Assembly:

Thread the long tail of each letter onto a yarn needle and sew them onto the keychain ring. Make sure they are centered and secure.

Attach the keychain ring to your keys or use it as a decorative accessory on your bag. You can also experiment with different colors and sizes to create a personalized set of crochet alphabet keychains. Have fun crocheting!
