Crochet Bunny Keyring Tutorial

The tutorial at the end provides a step-by-step guide for crocheting a mini bunny keychain from scratch. Perfect for beginners, the tutorial explains every aspect—from creating the magic ring to shaping and finishing with cute details like the ears, bow, and keyring attachment. If you're looking for a fun, quick project that requires minimal techniques, this bunny keychain tutorial is a fantastic choice.

Magic Ring Creation: Form a magic ring to start the head, which provides a secure base. Wrap the yarn around your fingers and secure the loop with your crochet hook, then complete the ring with six single crochet stitches.
Increasing Rounds for Head: Gradually increase the stitch count with single crochets and increments in each round. This method creates a rounded shape for the head.
Stitch Marker Use: Use a stitch marker to track rounds, especially while increasing stitches.
Decreasing Rounds: Begin reducing stitch counts with decreases to shape the head’s closure. Techniques include single crochet decreases for smoother edges.
Adding Eyes and Nose: Insert safety eyes between rows 8-9 and 9-10 for accurate spacing. Embroider the nose with pink thread for a cute touch.
Making Ears: Follow the same steps as the head, using a magic ring and increasing the number of stitches, but stop increases early for a smaller shape. Fold and stitch to the head for a classic bunny look.
Bow Decoration: For added charm, create a bow using a magic ring with chain stitches and tall stitches (e.g., double crochet).
Attaching Keyring: Secure the keyring by sewing it firmly at the top of the head, checking placement to ensure stability.
