My uncle got me your goblinoid crochet kit for Christmas a while back. It took me a while to start using it, but once I did, I fell in love with crochet. Thank you for all the fun memories (and plushies) that you've sparked. ❤️
My preferred method, now that I’ve started making keychains, is to just sew in the keychain when I’m at the part of the project I want the keychain to be in. Then I’ll continue the project, or just sew in my ends!
That's almost the same way I do it for the Octopus Amigurumi's I crochet. But as I get close to making the edges of its head, I use the "tail" that I have at the top of its head and add the keychain thru the top then use a yarn needle and go thru the jumping and then pull the yarn back thru to the other side and weave in what's left of the tail.
I always start amigurumi by chaining 1, and working 6 sc into it instead of the magic circle. I leave some yarn there, finish my project, and then using that leftover yarn from the beginning, I tie the ring on the piece securely and cut off the excess
@@magentafox1657 as far as I know, it really boils down the personal preference. I stopped using the magic circle because I didn't like starting it, and it sometimes left a small hole on top of my work. Other than that, they're pretty much the same, use whichever you like better
@@magentafox1657Usually, the pro to using a Magic Ring is that you can - theoretically - pull it shut all the way, so there's no hole. When you sc into a chain st, often that leaves a hole, because the sts make room for themselves naturally. However, I'm never one to just leave well enough alone, so if my work has an unintentional hole - crochet or knit, regardless of what I'm making or where it happens - I go through the back or inside of the work or however I need to do it, and loop a small piece of yarn through the hole & tie it off & find a way to hide the ends (I learned that from doing embroidery).
Where did you get the keychain from? I can’t find a good one anywhere! And this is a very helpful tutorial I couldn’t figure out how to do it when I made a keychain for my friend awhile back!
When you finish a project instead of cutting off that last piece of yarn, use that same piece to attach the keychain so u don't have to add a new string
This was actually really helpful! I bought an crochet keychain a long time ago and the yarn connecting the loop snapped, so i haven't been able to use it. Now i can add it back to my backpack!
If you start with a magic ring, use the yarn tail from there bring it to the outside before stuffing and closing the amigurumi. That way, one end is already firmly attached. Use that to sew on the keychain and weave in the end at the end.
I like to use needle nose pliers to spread one of the links, pull up some loops of the piece with a needle, and threading the link through them and squeezing it together again.
For those who want it written: Making the Center 1. Magic ring 2. Do 4 half double (correct me if im wrong) loops; pull through all then 1 slip stich to seal 3. Repeat step 2 for 9 times (get 10 total) 4. Seal magic ring 5. Now make another center (repeat step 1-4) and stich the two back to back using single crochets Making the Petals 6. Get color 2, single crochet it into the edgeof the brown center 7. Make 3 slip stiches (3ch) 8. Do 5 half doubles in the 1st row do 5 more half doubles in next row 9. Pull through all; seal with slip stich 10. Chain 3 slip stich; looop it back to the same stich you started it on 11. Chain 3 and stich it in the 2nd row to finish the other side of petal 12. Repeat step 7-11 for the rest of the petals (10 total) 13. Seal it off at the end so it doesn’t unravel
Oh it was craaaazy tight at first. I broke 4 crochet hooks in the first day 😅. Then I got way loose and over corrected. Getting gauge is probably the hardest thing to learn in crochet because it just take’s patience and practice.
nah, just use pliers to open the ring at the bottom, loop it under a couple strands, and close it back up. it takes 30sec at MOST no sewing in ends that way too!
Whem i begun o didn't have a needle i just bought yarn and crochet hooks so what i would have sone is crochet a single chain till its a length i want then i would pull the metal loop apart and put it on the end of that
But with this chain the video is using getting yarn and tie to a piece of the top with a small size crochet hook would do just cut the extra yarn pieces off
I have been wanting to start turning my amigurumi into keychains. I hadn't thought of using one that has smaller rings. I'm going to be posting a design soon myself that will be some type of keychain. I just need to finalize the pattern I'm putting together and the details to make it more fancy. Do you recommend always using cotton for keychains? Does acrylic stretch too much?
It can be quite a hassle to get a tiny jump ring through a stitch, turned the right way, and close it. And often you'll catch a few extra fibers and that can cause the yarn/plushie to look strange too! It's faster to thread a darning needle, make a few stitches and tie a knot 😊 I'm sure there's people out there who do it the way you describe too though! It's a matter of preference 😊 For me, I like to bend a wire (or paperclip!) into a spiral with a ring on top and poke it through the head before I stuff it! That way, the wire spiral is on the inside, making sure it doesn't pull out when it's done. The ring on top pokes through the head and is the only part visible from the outside. Then you can add whatever you want to hang it. There's many ways to do this and all of them are fine if it works for you 😊
Conversely......just leave the tail long, use that to sew in the key chain at the same time you're closing off your final stitches, maybe even do a single slip stitch around the chain knot tightly and hide the remaining tail in the body..... No need for extra steps. That sucker is NEVER coming out, especially if it's amigurumi cotton....
Oooo I’ll add them to my shop this week for you! I totally forgot to oops! It’ll be available here but I’ll add it to the email newsletter when I do: www.clubcrochet.com/shop You can find them online hobby shops and Amazon I think. Or even a jewelry store might have them?

The easiest way is when you begin crocheting. ❤

Super clear, effective and helpful. Thanks!

That’s a great alternative method for sure!
Some patterns I've done use this method. Do you know what the pros and cons of each method are?

Omg thanks! Your a life saver!!
Ugh I love thisssss!!! I need to learn amigurumi. I've been crocheting for three years but it's mainly traditional stuff
Oh you can totallly do it! Just take the leap! It’s so fun and fast!
Thank you! This was super helpful! I just tried it and it worked perfectly! ❤
thanks so much! I just got 4 Keychains that I wanted to put my amigurumi's on
Where to buy keychains? Amazon?
@@donnathompson6694 you can yes!! I bought a pack with like 50
THIS WAS PERFECT THANK YOU!!
Adorable jellyfish! Love your way to attach the keychain. Thank you. 🤗 Do you have a tutorial for the jellyfish?
Sure do! www.clubcrochet.com/jellyfish
@@ClubCrochet awesome, thank you so much!🤗 I joined but, found that you have to pay for a membership 🤷🏼♀️
I’ve never tried knitting so idk why I’m watching this video but that jellyfish is really cute! I love it you did a fantastic job
This is crochet, which is done with a hook, not knitting : )
@@toohottohandle0_0
Crochet is French for hook. In some other languages, like Spanish, they will say knitting with a hook for crochet. 🙂
@@toohottohandle0_0 my bad! I had a little brain fart when i made it and if I edited it i would remove the heart (also srry for replying late)
You can also add them before you stuff and close your work
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Where did you get the keychain from? I can’t find a good one anywhere! And this is a very helpful tutorial I couldn’t figure out how to do it when I made a keychain for my friend awhile back!
Thank you!!!! I have been trying to learn how to do this for so long!!!
Tks I’m new to this world and every good advice or knowledge I welcome…..😊❤❤❤
When you finish a project instead of cutting off that last piece of yarn, use that same piece to attach the keychain so u don't have to add a new string
THANK YOU! This is very helpful!

This is sooo good tysmn

It’s so cute omg
Its so cute
Thank you, great idea.
Looks great❤
using pliers and opening the jump ring, sliding it through the stitches and sealing it back up sounds faster and easier than this.
This is super cute I love it❤
For those who want it written:
Making the Center
1. Magic ring
2. Do 4 half double (correct me if im wrong) loops; pull through all then 1 slip stich to seal
3. Repeat step 2 for 9 times (get 10 total)
4. Seal magic ring
5. Now make another center (repeat step 1-4) and stich the two back to back using single crochets
Making the Petals
6. Get color 2, single crochet it into the edgeof the brown center
7. Make 3 slip stiches (3ch)
8. Do 5 half doubles in the 1st row do 5 more half doubles in next row
9. Pull through all; seal with slip stich
10. Chain 3 slip stich; looop it back to the same stich you started it on
11. Chain 3 and stich it in the 2nd row to finish the other side of petal
12. Repeat step 7-11 for the rest of the petals (10 total)
13. Seal it off at the end so it doesn’t unravel
That is ready cute 😍 💕 😘 💖 💗 ☺️
The jellyfish is so cute! Was it a daisy stitch?
Nossa! Bem melhor assim! Gratidão 🙏🏻❤
I like this idea 💡 thanks 😊
Good tidy job❤
Thanks.
You’re welcome!
i just bend a coloured clip paper,insert from inside the amigurumi its the easiest and cleaness way for me
That’s a good trick but I’ve found it gets pulled out kinda easy and I lost a few keychains using that method. But it does work still!
Thank you SO much!
Thank you!!
Thank You
The octopus keychain sooo cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not sure why I just saw this, but always be careful bc with any method, if the jump ring opens, you just lost your ami that was attached
Cute!
Thank you sm!!
I just kinda jab mine in but this way is good too ❤
THANK U SO MUCH, this helped me add my first keychain to my baby whale 🐋 amigurami.❤
Thank you that was very useful
Thanks for this tip, I literally almost break my fingernails for inserting that 😼
This is so cool and if anyone realised thats a loop
I have a question… when you started crocheting was it kinda holey and messed up in places or was it good off the bat?
Oh it was craaaazy tight at first. I broke 4 crochet hooks in the first day 😅. Then I got way loose and over corrected. Getting gauge is probably the hardest thing to learn in crochet because it just take’s patience and practice.
@@ClubCrochet thank you! I won’t give up and I’ll keep trying!
Superb
I know other way n I think is easier but this looks cuteee
Smart, I have a lot of chains like that from my parrots toys they chew apart are basically keychains maybe I’ll reuse them
Omg it worked ty
So cute fab tip x
nah, just use pliers to open the ring at the bottom, loop it under a couple strands, and close it back up. it takes 30sec at MOST
no sewing in ends that way too!
Thxs
Thank you.
That jellyfish is cutie-patootie!
Really useful
Tutorial please.Thank you
Thank you!
I could make so many
I start the magic ring in the key chain, so after you don't have to see it

why didn't the algorithm show me this earlier 😭😭😭
I just open the keychain thing that is on the bottom and close it on one of the stitches

Out of curiosity, why don't you just open the jump ring and poke it through and then close it back up again?

Thank you! I crocheted a mini sea turtle and it fell out of the keychain recently
That looks nice but my yarn isn't as good as yours so it might not work

What about different types of the keychains?
Hmm. Im not sure tbh. I’d need to see some other keychain examples but I can imagine this would work for other options too.
@@ClubCrochet thank you ✨
...why can't you just put the jump ring through a stitch?
You can it’s just can be pretty tough to do after finishing your crochet. Also could bend your keychain in a way that could leave it unsecured.
I put the chain through the stitch, widely, it stays on the longest
I wish I could pay for it
I’ll add it to the shop this week for you. Thank you!
Does anyone know if earrings are the same way
I can't even make the damn octopus.

my keychain doesnt fit on my needle
I’m sorry, but why is the pattern $80?!
That looks like crochet
Yep yep! I have the crochet tutorial on my site if you wanna make one too! Link should be in the pinned comment.
