Hop on into spring with my adorable Crochet Bunny Keychain Pattern! Made in the round with minimal sewing, this crochet bunny pattern is perfect for beginners!
Crochet keychains are an easy way to make a unique and absolutely adorable statement. I actually have a few keychain patterns which are some of my favorite things to make, like my crochet strawberry keychain, crochet rainbow keychain, and crochet heart keychain.

✏️ Things To Note:
- Yarn Options: For the crochet bunny keychain, I used acrylic yarn, but feel free to choose any yarn type you prefer. Acrylic is soft, lightweight, and available in many colors, but other yarns like cotton, wool, or bamboo can give the bunny a different texture and look. Keep in mind that the type of yarn you choose may affect the final size and feel of the keychain.
- Adjusting Size: To adjust the size of your bunny, consider using thicker yarn or a larger crochet hook. If you opt for chunky or super chunky yarn, you can create a larger, plushie version of the bunny instead of a keychain. This allows for more flexibility in the finished product, whether you want a cute little plush or a keychain.
- Finished Size: The standard finished size for this crochet rabbit keychain is about 4 inches tall, making it ideal for attaching to keys, bags, or zippers. However, by changing the yarn thickness or hook size, you can easily customize the size of your bunny to suit your preferences. Whether you prefer a smaller keychain or a larger plushie, adjusting these elements allows for a unique and personalized result.

Attach a keychain through the head in between the ears.

🐌Expert Tips
- Placing Eyes: Make sure to place the eyes before closing or stuffing the hole in the bunny head; otherwise, it gets a bit difficult.
- Avoid Overstuffing: When stuffing the bunny, be gentle to maintain its shape without making it too bulky.

I am not a beginner when it comes to crochet, but this was my first time making any type of plush, and I think it came out really well! It’s super cute!!! I also plan to embroider pink spots on the cheeks.
The pattern was very straight forward and easy to read, and I was able to finish in a couple hours.
I do have one question, was I supposed to chain one at the beginning of each round and the slip stitch at the end of the round? I’ve seen that for nearly every “flat” pattern I’ve made, and wasn’t sure if it was the same for a plush? After years of making granny squares it felt wrong to leave it out, but as I said I’m brand new to this type of crochet 😩

You can if you want to make distinct rounds, but normally when I do simple plushies I just do it in a continuous spiral so that step isn't necessary here. I know some other pattern makers for plush items do it.

Okay, thank you, that makes lots of sense! I plan to make another in pink!
