Adorable Crochet Lily of the Valley Keychain: Step-by-Step Guide

Create a charming, beginner-friendly crochet keychain featuring delicate lily of the valley flowers and leafy stems.

Materials Needed

To make this keychain, you will need green yarn for the string and leaves, colored yarn for the bell-shaped blossoms, a crochet hook, a stitch marker, and a yarn needle to weave in all the loose tails securely.

Using a stitch marker right from the start helps you keep track of your first single crochets and chain spaces so you never lose your place during the rounds.

Step-by-Step Techniques

Begin by making a green slip knot and chaining 55 stitches to form the hanging string. Next, create the leaf by chaining 16, working a combination of single crochets, half double crochets, and double crochets along both sides of the foundation chain, and finishing with a slip stitch before hiding the tail.

For the lily of the valley flowers, start with a green magic ring containing five single crochets, followed by a second round of double crochets and chain spaces to create six working holes. Switch to your colored yarn to work a bobble stitch—pulling yarn through six times—into each hole, then frame them with a round of single and double crochets. You will need to crochet two identical flower pieces.

Taking your time when wrapping the yarn six times for each bobble stitch ensures that your flower petals turn out plump and well-defined.

Assembly and Finishing

Thread your green string through the center of the leaf using a yarn needle, then attach your two completed flowers to the string ends by threading the tails through the magic rings and tying secure double knots before trimming the excess yarn.

Always leave slightly longer yarn tails when cutting your pieces so that you have plenty of length to weave them neatly into your stitches.
