Mini Amigurumi Cloud Keychain Pattern

This cloud is created by crocheting around a chain foundation to form a smooth oval shape.

Cloud Body

Round 1

Ch 6.

Work around the chain: SC in second chain, SC in next 3 chains, 3 SC in last chain.

Continue on the opposite side: SC in next 3 chains, 2 SC in the last chain.

(12 stitches)

Round 2

Inc, 3 SC, 3 Inc, 3 SC, 2 Inc.

(18 stitches)

Round 3

Evenly place increases around.

(24 stitches)

Round 4

Continue increasing around the oval.

(30 stitches)

Rounds 5–8

SC around.

This creates the main body of the cloud.

(30 stitches)

Rounds 9–14

Begin decreasing evenly around the shape until the cloud starts forming soft curves.

Add stuffing slowly as you go — keep it firm but not overfilled.

Finish with a small opening, close neatly using a tapestry needle, and weave in all ends.

Assembly and Finishing Touches

Eye Placement

Insert safety eyes between rounds 6 and 7, with 4–5 stitches of space between them.

Use a bit of blush yarn or soft pastel for cute cheeks.

Attach the Keychain

Secure the metal keychain ring firmly to the top center of the cloud.

Beginner Tips for a Perfect Cloud

Tip 1 – Avoiding Loose Stitches

Loose stitches create gaps where stuffing can show.

If your stitches look too open, switch to a smaller hook.

Tip 2 – Magic Ring Alternative

If you struggle with the Magic Ring (many beginners do!), use this:

Ch 2 → crochet your first round into the first chain.

Tip 3 – Use a Stitch Marker

Amigurumi is worked in spirals, so marking the first stitch of each round helps avoid losing track.

Safety Instructions

For Babies Under 3 Years Old

Do NOT use safety eyes — embroider the eyes instead.
