🦋 How to Crochet a Beautiful Butterfly Keychain

Easy Crochet Tutorial – Step-by-Step Guide

Butterfly keychains are not only adorable but also a quick and fun project! Whether you’re a crochet beginner or looking for a cute handmade gift idea, this tutorial will guide you through making your own crochet butterfly keychain. Let’s get started!

🧶 Materials You’ll Need:

Yarn: Use any 100% cotton or acrylic yarn (preferably lightweight/DK or worsted)
- Choose 2-3 colors for contrast (e.g., pink + purple or blue + yellow)
Crochet hook: Size 3.5mm (E) or 4mm (G), depending on your yarn
Tapestry needle (for sewing in ends)
Scissors
Keychain ring or lobster clasp
Stitch marker (optional)
Stuffing (optional if you want it puffy)

📝 Abbreviations (US Terms):

ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
tr – treble crochet
st(s) – stitch(es)
rnd – round

🪡 Instructions:

🌸 Step 1: Crochet Two Small Circles (Wings)

You’ll be making the wings from two round motifs.

With Color A (e.g., pink):

Rnd 1:

Magic ring, ch 3 (counts as dc), 11 dc into ring.
Join with sl st to top of ch 3. (12 dc total)

Rnd 2:

Ch 3, 1 dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around.
Join with sl st. (24 dc)

Change to Color B for decorative edging:

Rnd 3 (Optional):

Ch 1, sc in same st, ch 3, skip 1 st, repeat around.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Repeat these steps to make two circles.

🧵 Step 2: Fold the Circles into Wings

Fold each circle in half (semi-circle).
Place the two folded halves together, facing outward, so they resemble butterfly wings.

🪶 Step 3: Make the Butterfly Body

With contrasting yarn (Color C, e.g., black or brown):

Ch 12 (or longer for bigger butterfly)
Fold the chain in half and tie it tightly around the center of the two wings.
Knot securely and leave two ends hanging — these will be the butterfly’s antennae.

🧷 Step 4: Attach the Keyring

Use one of the yarn tails or a jump ring to attach the butterfly to a metal keyring or lobster clasp.
Secure tightly by knotting or sewing the yarn in place.

✨ Optional Embellishments

Add a small bead or button to the center
Sew or glue on tiny sequins or glitter fabric paint
Use embroidery thread to create patterns on the wings

📌 Final Touches

Weave in any remaining yarn tails using a tapestry needle.
Trim excess yarn.
Shape the wings to make sure they look even and symmetrical.
Clip onto your keys, bag, backpack, or gift it to someone special!
