Materials and Tools to Get Started
To make this mini crochet turtle amigurumi, you will need a 2.5 mm hook and a fingering yarn. The project is so small you can easily work it up using just the scraps from your stash. Prepare yarn in green and brown colors to recreate the turtle’s look. The designer recommends 100% cotton, but other fibers should work well too.
To complete your keychain, you will also need fiberfill, 6 mm safety eyes, a key ring, and a tiny button.
Is This Turtle Keychain Suitable for Beginners?
Designed for those with a basic understanding of amigurumi, this pattern appeals to various skill levels. The Turtle Keychain pattern incorporates essential techniques such as the magic ring, single crochet stitches, and shaping methods.
Thanks to clear written instructions, this project offers an enjoyable experience for crafters ready to complete a very small project that requires a bit more precision than bigger items.
How Large Is the Finished Turtle?
This small crochet turtle measures approximately 10 cm when made with the suggested materials. Its miniature size makes it perfect not only for keychains, but also for party favors or classroom prizes. It will also make a cute addition to an animal figurine collection.
How Do I Attach the Turtle to a Keyring?
There are two ways to attach this little handmade turtle to a keyring. You can either crochet a small loop to which you secure the keyring or simply jump ring through one of the stitch eyelets at the top of the shell, and then slide it onto the keychain hardware.
