Skill Level

Intermediate beginner — requires familiarity with basic crochet stitches such as chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), triple crochet (tr), double crochet (dc), and working in the round.

Materials

100% polyester crochet thread:
Red (Fresh Red)
Green
Crochet hook size 4 (Hakpen)
Scissors
Matches or lighter (for finishing ends)
Key ring
Stitch marker (optional but helpful)

Measurements / Sizing

The size varies depending on your tension and crochet thread thickness. Usually, this keychain measures small enough (approx. 5–7 cm in length) to comfortably fit in your hand or hang on keys.

Gauge

Gauge is not critical for this small project; however, consistent tension will help maintain a firm shape. The stitch pattern relies mostly on triple crochet clusters and double crochets worked in rounds.

Stitch Abbreviations

ch: chain
sl st: slip stitch
tr: triple crochet
dc: double crochet
MC: magic circle (ring)

Special Stitches

Triple Crochet Cluster (tr cluster):
A cluster of 3 triple crochets worked together in the same stitch or space, leaving the last loop of each incomplete on the hook, then pulling through all loops at once to finish the cluster.

The Crochet Pattern

Step 1: Prepare and Start the Base (Leaves - Green Thread)

Cut a length of green thread approx. 20 cm for attaching the key ring later.
Make a slip knot and create a slip stitch ring (magic ring).
Chain 12 (or 12 cm length of chains).
Join by slip stitching into the first chain to form a ring.

Step 2: Work the First Round – Forming Triple Crochet Clusters

Chain 3 to start the round — this counts as the first triple crochet.
Save
In the ring, work 3 triple crochet stitches but leave the last loop on the hook (incomplete).
You will have 4 loops on the hook including the initial chain 3.
Yarn over and pull through all loops to complete the triple crochet cluster.
Chain 1.
Repeat this triple crochet cluster and chain 1 a total of 12 times inside the ring.
Join the round by slip stitching into the base of the first triple crochet cluster.
Save

Step 3: Tidying Up and Preparing for Next Round

Chain 1 and break the thread.
Use slip stitches on the remaining green thread to tidy and finish.

Step 4: Starting the Strawberry Body – Switching to Red Thread

Attach the red thread in the hole between the triple crochet clusters.
Chain 3 to act as the first double crochet.
Work 2 double crochet stitches into the same hole (total 3 including the chain 3).
Save
Place a stitch marker on the 3rd chain.
Work 3 double crochet stitches into each space between triple crochet clusters around.
After completing about 5 sets of 3 double crochets, skip one space and continue working 3 double crochet stitches in the following space.
Slip stitch into the marked chain to close the round.

Step 5: Continuing the Body (Additional Rounds)

Chain 3 to start the round (counts as first double crochet).
Work 2 more double crochets in the same stitch (3 total double crochets).
Work 3 double crochets in each double crochet space around for 4 rounds, skipping one space between some, following the pattern of the previous round.
Slip stitch to join at the end of each round.
Save
Use stitch markers as necessary to keep track of where rounds end.

Step 6: Finishing the Strawberry Body

On the last round, after completing the double crochets, chain 1 and slip stitch to join.
Break the thread and tidy the ends with slip stitches inside the work.
Cut thread and carefully burn the ends to secure.

Step 7: Attach the Key Ring

Using the green thread left earlier, make 5 chains.
Save
Chain 1 to lock these chains.
Insert the key ring through the chain loop.
Pull the thread tight and chain 1 or 2 to secure the key ring.
Weave in the remaining thread and tidy up with slip stitches.
Cut the thread and burn the ends to finish.

Assembly & Finished Size

The final strawberry keychain should measure approximately 5–7 cm long.
