Creating small crochet accessories is one of the most satisfying parts of amigurumi. An amigurumi horse keychain is a perfect project: cute, practical, and beginner-friendly. In this detailed guide, you will learn the full step-by-step technique to crochet a horse-shaped amigurumi keychain using simple stitches and clear construction logic.

This tutorial is written for crochet lovers who want a complete handmade project, from shaping the legs to assembling the body and adding finishing details.

Why Make an Amigurumi Horse Keychain?

Amigurumi keychains are popular because they:

• Work up quickly
• Use small amounts of yarn
• Are ideal for gifts and selling
• Are easy to carry and display

The horse design adds charm and symbolic meaning, representing strength, freedom, and positivity.

Skill Level

Beginner to Intermediate

You should be familiar with:

• Single crochet (sc)
• Increase (inc)
• Decrease (dec)
• Chain stitch (ch)
• Slip stitch (slst)

Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK or sport weight cotton or cotton-blend yarn
• Crochet hook: 2.5–3.0 mm
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Scissors
• Safety eyes (optional) or embroidery thread
• Keychain ring with chain

Crochet Abbreviations (US Terms)

• ch – chain
• sc – single crochet
• inc – increase
• dec – decrease
• slst – slip stitch
• MR – magic ring
• ( ) – stitch count

Crochet Technique Overview

This horse keychain is made using turned rows, not continuous rounds.

After each row, work one turning chain, which does not count as a stitch.

👉 You will crochet two identical flat horse pieces, then join them together to create a slightly padded amigurumi keychain.

Step 1: Crochet the Legs

Row 1

Chain 5. (5)

Row 2

Turn. Starting in the second chain from the hook:

3 sc, increase in the last chain. (5)

Rows 3–4

Turn. Crochet 5 sc across each row. (5)

✔️ This forms one leg.

Repeat the same steps to make the second identical leg.

Step 2: Joining the Legs & Starting the Body

Now we connect both legs to shape the body.

Row 5

Crochet 4 sc, inc on the first leg.

Chain 6 to join the second leg.

Increase at the beginning of the second leg, then crochet 4 sc. (18)

Rows 6–11

Crochet 18 sc evenly across each row. (18)

This section forms the main body of the horse.

Step 3: Shaping the Body

Row 12

16 sc, dec. (17)

Row 13

Dec, 13 sc, dec. (16)

Row 14

6 sc, dec. (7)

At this point, the body begins to narrow toward the neck area.

Step 4: Crocheting the Head

Row 15

Dec, 5 sc, inc, chain 6. (14)

Row 16

Working along the chains:

5 sc, inc, 5 sc, dec. (13)

Row 17

Dec, 5 sc, inc, 5 sc. (13)

Row 18

5 sc, inc, 5 sc, dec. (13)

Row 19

Dec, 5 sc, inc, 5 sc. (13)

Row 20

6 sc, inc, 4 sc, dec. (13)

This repeated shaping creates a rounded horse head and snout.

Step 5: Crochet the Ears

Row 21

Dec, 4 sc, inc. (7)

Row 22

Dec, 2 sc, dec. (4)

Row 23

Dec twice. (2)

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Step 6: Make the Second Piece

Repeat all steps from beginning to end to crochet the second identical horse piece.

You should now have:

• Two flat horse shapes
• Matching size and stitch count

Step 7: Assemble the Amigurumi Horse

• Place both pieces together, wrong sides facing inward
• Join them using single crochet or whip stitch around the edges
• Lightly stuff with fiberfill before fully closing

Step 8: Attach the Keychain Ring

• Insert the keychain loop at the top of the head
• Secure tightly using yarn or metal ring
• Make sure it is firmly attached for daily use

Optional Decorations

You may add:

• Yarn mane and tail
• Embroidered eyes
• Small crocheted saddle (oval shape)

These details give your horse character and uniqueness.

Care Instructions

• Spot clean only
• Do not machine wash
• Avoid pulling on the keychain ring
• Keep away from small children

🧶 

Materials You’ll Need

To make your amigurumi mushroom keychain, gather these materials before you start:

• Yarn:
  
  • Red (for the mushroom cap)
  • Beige or off-white (for the stem)
  • White (for the cap spots)
• Crochet Hook: 2.0 mm – 2.5 mm (depending on yarn thickness)
• Fiberfill stuffing (for shaping)

🪡 

Abbreviations (US Terms)

• MR – Magic Ring
• sc – single crochet
• inc – increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
• dec – decrease (sc two stitches together)
• st – stitch
• sl st – slip stitch
• R – round/row

🍄 

How to Crochet the Mushroom Keychain

This amigurumi mushroom is made in two main parts: the cap and the stem. After that, you’ll add small white dots and assemble everything together.

🌰 

1. Crochet the Mushroom Cap (Red Yarn)

R1: MR, 6 sc (6)

R2: inc in each st (12)

R3: (1 sc, inc) × 6 (18)

R4: (2 sc, inc) × 6 (24)

R5–R6: sc around (24)

R7: (2 sc, dec) × 6 (18)

👉 Do not stuff the cap yet. We’ll attach it later after making the stem.

🧶 Pro Tip: Keep your stitches tight to maintain a neat dome shape. If your cap curls, gently press it flat with your fingers.

🌿 

2. Crochet the Stem (Beige Yarn)

R1: MR, 6 sc (6)

R2: (1 sc, inc) × 3 (9)

R3–R7: sc around (9)

R8: (1 sc, dec) × 3 (6)

Now lightly stuff the stem with fiberfill. Leave a long tail for sewing to the cap.

⚪ 

3. Make the White Spots

Use white yarn and create small circles:

R1: MR, 6 sc, sl st to join. Fasten off.

Make 4–6 spots of different sizes and sew them randomly on the red cap.

Try mixing slightly smaller and bigger spots for a more natural look.

❤️ 

4. Assemble the Mushroom

• Place the stem under the cap and sew them together neatly.
• Stuff a little more fiberfill before closing if needed.
• Use your yarn needle to hide all loose ends inside.

Your mini amigurumi mushroom is ready! 🍄

🔗 

5. Add the Keychain Ring

Use a small metal ring or a short chain to attach your mushroom.

Sew or loop it securely through the top of the cap.

✨ Optional: You can also attach a safety pin or clasp to make it removable.

🌼 

Finishing Touches & Styling Ideas

• Add a tiny face with black embroidery thread for a kawaii look.
• Use pastel colors for a dreamy style or the classic red and white for a woodland theme.
• Attach a few tiny beads or charms for a more decorative keychain.
• Combine with other mini amigurumi pieces — like a leaf, frog, or flower — for a cute themed set.

💡 

Crochet Tips from AmyLiva Handmade

1. Tension control: Keep your tension consistent so stuffing doesn’t show through.
2. Stuffing: Use small pinches of fiberfill to keep the shape even.
3. Joining parts: Sew parts firmly, especially if the keychain will be used daily.
4. Customization: Try using glitter yarn or pastel tones for seasonal versions.
5. Maintenance: If your keychain gets dusty, gently wipe it with a damp cloth — never machine wash.
