Materials for the Amigurumi Rose Keychain

You only need a few simple supplies to make this little rose keychain.

Yarn

• Pink or red cotton yarn for the rose petals
• Green cotton yarn for the sepal

A small amount of yarn is needed for this project. Cotton yarn is a useful option because it helps the petals hold their shape and keeps the stitches defined. The finished size may vary depending on the yarn weight and your crochet tension.

Crochet Hook

• 2.0–2.5 mm crochet hook

Choose a hook size that gives you firm, even stitches. The exact size can be adjusted depending on your yarn and crochet tension.

Other Supplies

• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Small keychain ring
• Optional jump ring

A jump ring can be useful if you want to attach the keychain ring without sewing it directly to the crochet piece.

Crochet Stitches Used

This pattern uses a few basic crochet stitches. If you are familiar with these stitches, you should find the rose straightforward to make.

Abbreviations

• MR – Magic Ring
• ch – Chain
• sc – Single Crochet
• hdc – Half Double Crochet
• dc – Double Crochet
• sl st – Slip Stitch
• FO – Fasten Off

The rose is worked mainly with basic stitches, making it a good project for practicing different stitch heights and creating the shape of a flower.

Amigurumi Rose Keychain Pattern

Rose Petals

The rose is made from a crocheted strip that is rolled and stitched into a flower shape.

Using pink or red yarn:

Row 1: Chain 36.

Row 2: Starting in the second chain from the hook, work (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) across. Repeat the 5-stitch sequence 7 times to create 7 petals.

You should have 35 stitches at the end of Row 2.

Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing.

Shaping the Rose

Starting at one end, gently roll the crocheted strip inward to form the center of the rose.

Continue rolling the strip until you reach the end. Adjust the petals as you go so they spread naturally around the flower.

Using the long yarn tail and a yarn needle, sew through the bottom of the rolled flower several times to hold all the layers securely together.

Take a moment to adjust the petals and make sure the rose keeps its shape before trimming the yarn.

Green Sepal

The green sepal is crocheted separately and sewn to the bottom of the rose.

Using green yarn:

Round 1: MR, 5 sc (5)
Round 2: 5 inc (10)
Round 3: (Ch 5, sl st in the next st) × 5 (5 pointed sepals)

Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing.

Place the sepal underneath the rose and sew it securely to the bottom. Arrange the five pointed sections evenly around the base of the flower.

Shaping Note

After crocheting the five pointed sections, arrange them evenly beneath the rose. Sew the sepal securely to the bottom of the rolled flower, making sure the green points remain visible around the base. Adjust the placement before fastening off completely.

Attach the Keychain Ring

1. Position the keychain ring near the base of the rose, above or beside the green sepal.
2. Cut a short length of strong yarn and thread it through a yarn needle.
3. Pass the yarn through a firm section of the sepal and around the keychain ring several times.
4. Stitch through the crochet fabric securely, avoiding loose loops that could catch on the ring.
5. Tie off the yarn and weave the ends into the underside of the flower.
6. Gently check the attachment before using the rose as a keychain or bag charm. If the ring moves freely or the stitches loosen, reinforce the connection before use.

Tips for a Neat Rose

• Keep the stitches even across the foundation chain so the petals have a consistent appearance.
• Roll the strip gradually, checking the shape as you go instead of tightening it all at once.
• Use sewing stitches through the base of the rolled strip to hold the layers together.
• Arrange the green sepal beneath the flower before sewing it in place.
• Weave in loose yarn ends carefully so they do not show around the base.
• Check that the keychain ring is firmly attached before using the finished piece.
