Yarn Size: You can honestly use any type and size of yarn for this project, but for keychains I suggest size 3 or 4 acrylic or cotton yarn.
Scrap Yarn: The rose crochet keychain is perfect for using up any scrap yarn! Although I suggest colors that you may not have, you can use any color you want for this project and it will turn out beautiful!
Finished Size: The crochet rose keychain is roughly 4 inches in diameter if you are counting the leaves, otherwise it will be 3-3.5inches in diameter.
Instructions
How to crochet a rose keychain:
The crochet rose keychain pattern is made in rows.
With the yarn for the petals, ch x36.
Row 1: In the 6th ch from the hook make a (dc, ch x2 and dc). *Skip the next 2 chains in the foundation chain, and in the following stitch make a (dc, ch x2 and dc). Repeat from * for the rest of the foundation chain length. There should be 11 V stitches.
Ch x3 and turn.
Row 2: Dc x5 into the next ch-2 space. This will be the center of the rose flower. Make a sl st into the next space, between the V stitches.
*Dc x6 into the next ch-2 space, sl st into the next space between the V stitches. Repeat from * 5 times total.
*Dc x9 into the next ch-2 space, sl st into the next space between the V stitches. Repeat from * 5 times total.
Fasten off the yarn and leave a 10-12inch tail for sewing. Thread the yarn needle with the tail you just made and with the right side of the crochet work facing you, and beginning with the first petal made roll the rose up from the foundation chain. Once the foundation chain creates a spiral, sew the rose to secure it.
Crochet Leaves:
Make 2x leaves.
With the green yarn, ch x9.
Follow this sequence of stitches, starting in the second ch from the hook: sl st, sc, hdc, dc x2, hdc, sc, sl st. You should be at the end of the chain. Now make a chain and flip to the unworked side of the foundation chain. Follow the sequence again: sl st, sc, hdc, dc x2, hdc, sc, sl st. Then fasten off the yarn and leave a tail for sewing.
Sew the 2 leaves to the back of the rose keychain, I chose to sew them 90 degrees from the keyring. I also added the keyring directly into the top of one of the crochet petals after sewing.
Weave in the ends and the rose crochet keyring is completed! I hope you enjoyed making this crochet rose pattern!
