Crochet Flower Keyring – Step by Step Free Pattern

Making a crochet flower keyring is not just enjoyable but also practical. The flower has five soft and sturdy petals with a plush, puffy look. The petals are formed by using the Tunisian crochet technique, which creates a unique texture. The first part of the flower is built in the round using single crochet stitches, while the petals use chain stitches and Tunisian stitches for shape and strength.

You can choose any color of yarn you like—bright yellow for a sunflower, soft pink for a daisy, or any combination. If you want to make something different, you can use the same pattern to create coasters, bag charms, or small plush ornaments by changing the size or adding extra petals.

Important Steps to Remember:

Start with a magic circle for a tight, neat center.
Make sure each round has the correct number of single crochets.
Use the Tunisian crochet technique for the petal texture.
Sew two flower pieces together and stuff lightly before closing.
Chain 40 for the keyring loop.

Common Problems and Solutions:

Petals look uneven: Double-check the number of loops and repeats for each petal.
Stitches are too tight or loose: Practice keeping your tension even and use the recommended hook size.
Keyring loop comes undone: Knot and weave in ends securely.

For best results, finish your flower by measuring each petal to ensure they are about the same size. When complete, your flower should be about the size of your palm, making it perfect for a keyring.

By following these simple steps and tips, you’ll have a beautiful crochet flower keyring that will add a happy pop of color to your everyday life. Enjoy sharing your finished piece with friends or as a handmade gift!

3 mm Tunisian or regular crochet hook
Tapestry needle
Fiberfill (stuffing)

ch – chain
sc – single crochet
sl st – slip stitch
st – stitch
yo – yarn over

The stuffing should be light for shape but not too hard for a plush effect.

Pattern Steps

1. Make the Flower Center (make 2)

Create a magic circle.
Ch 1.
Work 5 sc into the magic circle.
Save
Pull loose end to close the ring.
Sl st into the first sc to join.To start, make a loop with your yarn and hold it steady. Chain one to bring the height up, then put your hook into the circle and crochet five single crochets inside. Pull tight so there's no hole in the middle, and slip stitch back into your first stitch to finish the round.

2. Round 2 – Increase

Ch 1.
2 sc in each st around (10 sc total).
Sl st into the first sc to join.In this round, you will make two single crochets in each stitch. This grows the circle and creates the base for the flower. Finish by slip stitching into the first stitch.

3. Round 3 – Increase and Shape

Ch 1.
(1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) repeat around (15 sc total).
Sl st into the first sc to join.
Save
Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.Alternate between one and two single crochets in each stitch around. This light increase makes the flower's shape. Cut your yarn and leave a tail for sewing the flower together later.

4. Make Petals (Make 5 per flower center)

For each petal, work directly onto the edge of your flower center:

Attach new yarn to any st on the outer round.
Ch 5.
Turn work; in the back bump of each ch, pull up a loop (5 loops on hook).
Insert hook into same base st on the flower and pull up a loop (6 loops total).
Save
Yo, pull through two loops at a time until one loop remains (Tunisian return pass).Join your yarn at any stitch, chain five, and pick up loops from the back of every chain. Then, add a loop from the flower center to get six loops total. Work a Tunisian return pass by yarning over and pulling through two, one pair at a time.

Petal Growth Rows

Turn and pick up a loop in each vertical bar from previous row.
At the end, insert hook into the flower base st and pull up an extra loop (one more than previous row).
Yo, pull through two loops at a time until one loop remains.
Repeat these steps for three more rows (growing petal to a maximum of eight loops).Each new row begins with turning your work, using the vertical bars of the previous row to pick up loops. Always add one extra from the flower center, then do a Tunisian return pass. Repeat this for a few rows so your petal grows longer and wider.

Petal Tip (Final Row)

Skip the first vertical bar, pick up a loop in each bar after.
At the end, insert hook into flower base st (6 loops total).
Yo, pull through two loops at a time to finish.
Save
For the final row, skip the first stitch to shape the tip, pick up loops for the rest, and finish as before using the Tunisian return pass.

Petal Edging

Slip stitch across the top—the edge of the petal—one sl st in each vertical bar (usually 6 sl sts).
Fasten off.Slip stitch into each top loop of the petal. This finishes the petal edge and keeps it neat.

Repeat petal steps for the next four petals, starting each in the following stitch of the center.
- Your flower should have five evenly spaced petals.

5. Make the Second Flower

Repeat all above steps to make a second flower with five petals.This makes two flower shapes to later sew together.

6. Join the Flowers

Place two flower pieces together, wrong sides facing each other.
With tapestry needle and yarn tail, sew around through the back loops only, leaving a small gap.
Lightly stuff with fiberfill through the gap.
Sew up the last gap and weave in ends.
Save
Align the two flower shapes and sew neatly, only grabbing the back loop of each stitch for a flat seam. Before closing all the way, stuff gently. Finish the seam and hide all yarn ends.

7. Add Keychain Loop (Optional)

With yarn, ch 40 (or desired length).
Insert both chain ends between petals and sew or knot securely to flower.
Attach a key ring if you like.
Weave in any remaining ends.Chain a long strap and attach both ends to your flower, adding a key ring if you want to make a keychain. Hide all yarn tails inside.

Conclusion

Your flower keychain is complete!
The pattern combines classic crochet with Tunisian crochet for a textured, plush result.
Perfect as a keyring, bag charm, or gift.

Pattern Correction & Tips

Count stitches after every round and petal to keep them even.
Stuff lightly—overstuffing distorts the petals.
If petals curl, gently hand-shape or steam block before joining.
Use stitch markers if needed at each petal start to avoid overlap.
