🧶 Step-by-Step Amigurumi Elf Keychain Crochet Pattern

1. Crochet the Head & Body

Using the magic ring and single crochet, start with the head and continue downward for the body in one seamless piece. This improves durability.

2. Make Arms and Legs

Crochet limbs separately and stitch them onto the body. This gives the elf a poseable, expressive shape.

3. Add the Hat & Hair

Use a spiral technique to create the iconic elf hat. Add yarn strands for hair and brush gently to soften.

4. Embroider the Face

Insert safety eyes and embroider a smile with a fine needle. Optional: Add blush or details with embroidery floss.

5. Final Assembly

Secure a metal keyring to the hat with reinforced stitches. Your elf is ready to accompany you anywhere!
