Demogorgon Keychain Crochet Pattern
A Stranger Things-Inspired Amigurumi:
In this pattern, you’ll crochet a unique, showstopping Demogorgon keychain, inspired by the iconic character from the “Stranger Things” Netflix series. This miniature design features two faces—the classic red and black “mouth” and a gray reverse—connected by a flexible wire, allowing petals to open or close at will. The project is an ideal stash-buster requiring only small amounts of yarn, but delivers big impact as a collectible or fun gift for fans.
Quick Overview Of Pattern
- The head is made in two mirror-image parts: a red/black front and a gray back, each worked in the round, then shaped into petals.
- Petals are crocheted directly from the established circle.
- Pieces are joined together with a wire between them for posing.
- Optional white embroidery adds true Demogorgon mouth detail.
- Attach to a keyring for the perfect pop culture accessory.
Notes
- The pattern is written using US terminology and standard abbreviations.
- All parts are worked in the round unless otherwise noted.
- Work petals individually after making each circle.
- Use a stitch marker for the beg of rounds, as black yarn may be hard to see.
- When assembling, thread a thin wire inside to make the petals posable.
- Finish yarn ends as you go to keep the work tidy.
- White mouth and petal details are embroidered after assembly.

- Joining Front and Back:

- Optional: Join with red (or gray) yarn, single crochet through both layers around edge, but leave the outer petal edges open to help with flexibility if desired.
- Insert Wire:
- Cut an 8 mm thick, 40 cm long wire.
- Starting at base (petal edge), run wire through stitches along outer edge, catching every few stitches or through every petal tip for best shape.
- Shape wire around as you work, and complete the circle just as you reach your starting point, twist ends together and tuck inside or bend back into work for safety and neatness.
- Finishing:
- Weave in any tails and tidy embroidery.
- Shape petals with fingers and wire to open or close.
