Create an adorable Sheep Keychain with this free crochet pattern from Amigurumi Today! This charming little lamb amigurumi is really fun to craft. Once finished, you can easily attach it to your bag, rucksack, or keys, making it your best handmade companion!
Yarn & Tools You’ll Need to Crochet Your Sheep
To complete this crochet sheep keychain, you will need two types of yarn: Nako Bambino 4 ply yarn and Fluffy Alize Softy chenille yarn. The former will be used to make the muzzle, ears and legs, while the latter, with a plush texture, is needed to make the body and head to mimic the fluffy lamb’s skin.
The pattern also calls for a 1.75 mm hook, two black beads or safety eyes, stuffing, and a pendant with carbine.
Easy Steps to Stitch Up This Mini Sheep
This pattern uses simple stitches and will be perfect for those who have basic amigurumi experience.
You will work this crochet sheep in joined rounds, which means starting each round with a chain. The body and legs are crocheted as one part, while the head and ears are made separately and assembled at the end.
Working with fluffy yarn is probably the trickiest part of this project, as it makes the stitches very poorly visible. Therefore, you should carefully count each stitch.
Customize Your Sheep Keychain
This cool keychain project allows you to play with a whole spectrum of colors and textures. You can experiment with faux fur, fuzzy, or mohair yarn to get a different look. Also, nobody says that your sheep keychain has to be white – there is an entire color palette to choose from!
What Type of Stuffing is Best?
Polyester fiberfill works great for amigurumi, but don’t worry if you don’t have it in your stash. You can use yarn scraps instead, especially for such a small project like this crochet keychain. This may give your sheep a slightly firmer shape, but it will keep just as charming.
