There is something warm and comforting about a cup of coffee. It’s a moment of pause, a simple daily ritual, and a tiny piece of joy we hold in our hands. When this familiar comfort is turned into yarn and shaped with soft stitches, it becomes more than just a handmade accessory—it becomes a small symbol of coziness. This Mini Amigurumi Coffee Cup Keychain is designed to capture exactly that feeling.
This project is perfect for both beginners and experienced crocheters. It works up quickly, uses only a small amount of yarn, and makes a wonderful gift, craft fair item, or shop product. It can be attached to bags, backpacks, key rings, car keys, or even hung on a kitchen hook for decoration. If you enjoy creating cute miniatures or love the aesthetic of cozy handmade crafts, this will become one of your go-to patterns.

- White or cream (foam top)
- Crochet hook 2.0 mm – 2.5 mm (adjust depending on tension)
- Fiber stuffing
- Yarn needle
