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?

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
