🧵 How to Make an Amigurumi Purse Keychain

Mini Crochet Bag Tutorial for Gifts

🧶 Materials Needed:

  • Cotton or acrylic yarn (light worsted or DK weight)

    • Choose any color you like for the purse

  • Crochet hook (typically 2.5mm – 3.5mm, depending on yarn thickness)

  • Yarn needle

  • Stitch marker (optional)

  • Small button or snap (for the purse closure)

  • Keyring or keychain hardware

  • Scissors


🪡 Basic Stitches & Abbreviations:

  • MR – Magic Ring

  • ch – Chain

  • sc – Single crochet

  • inc – Increase (2 sc in one stitch)

  • sl st – Slip stitch

  • BLO – Back loops only

  • FO – Finish off


👛 Step-by-Step Instructions:

🔹 1. Create the Purse Base (Oval Shape)

This will form the bottom of the mini purse.

Round 1: Start with a MR, 6 sc into the ring (6)
Round 2: inc in each st around (12)
Round 3: (1 sc, inc) repeat around (18)
Round 4: (2 sc, inc) repeat around (24)
Round 5: (3 sc, inc) repeat around (30)

This creates a small flat oval base for your bag.


🔹 2. Build Up the Sides of the Bag

You will now work in BLO to make the sides stand up.

Round 6: BLO sc in each stitch around (30)
Rounds 7–12: sc around (30)

Add more rounds if you want a taller purse.


🔹 3. Create the Flap

You’ll stop working in the round and begin rows.

Row 1: sc in next 15 sts, ch 1, turn
Rows 2–6: sc across 15 sts, ch 1, turn
Row 7: dec, sc 11, dec (13)
Row 8: dec, sc 9, dec (11)
Row 9: sc across, FO (11)

Optional: In the last row, create a buttonhole by doing:

plaintext
Row 9: sc 4, ch 3 (skip 3 sts), sc 4

🔹 4. Add a Button or Snap

  • Sew a small button under the flap to close the purse.

  • Alternatively, use a small sew-on snap for a neater finish.


🔹 5. Attach the Keyring

  • Cut a small strand of yarn.

  • Attach it through the top corner of the bag.

  • Securely tie or sew it to a keyring or chain.


🔹 6. Finishing Touches

  • Weave in all yarn ends.

  • You can add embroidery, beads, or other decorations to personalize it.


🎁 Tips & Gift Ideas:

  • Add a coin, lip balm, or a note inside to turn it into a tiny surprise gift.

  • Use multicolored yarn for a fun effect.

  • Make a matching set for friends!
