About the Pattern

This crochet mini handbag keychain is designed with a combination of classic amigurumi techniques and decorative stitches to produce a whimsical, charming accessory. The structure features two identical panels, each formed using a petal-based popcorn stitch motif. These panels are joined along their edges to create a functional mini pouch. Its floral-inspired design, compact shape, and practical keychain attachment make it perfect for gifting, display, or adding a handmade touch to your accessories.

Pattern at a Glance

• The project begins with a magic ring foundation, forming a circular base.
• Popcorn stitches are used to create raised petals, giving texture and visual appeal to each panel.
• Expansion rounds include additional petals and openings, eventually increasing the total petal count for proportional shaping.
• Two identical panels are produced, assembled by joining along their sides and bottom.
• The top remains open, finished with sewn handles that double as keyring attachments, completing the handbag keychain.

Important Notes

• Use a consistent tension throughout the project to maintain the shape and firmness of the handbag.
• When joining panels, take care to align petals and stitches for an even seam.
• Secure all ends and attachment points thoroughly, especially where hardware is involved, to ensure durability.
• The popcorn stitch requires focused attention; practice the movement a few times before starting if not familiar.

This project is accessible for those comfortable with basic crochet stitches (single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch) and introduces the popcorn stitch.

Complete Crochet Pattern

Foundation

• Round 1:
  • Start with a magic ring (mr).
  • Make a knot.
  • Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring.
  • Tighten the ring and join with a slip stitch (sl st).
  • (This forms the base for petal placement.)

Petal Base

• Round 2:
  • For each of the 6 sc from the base:
    • Chain 3, then work 4 double crochet (dc) into the same stitch (total 5 dc, including the chains).
    • Remove the hook, insert it into the top of the first chain, and pull the loop through to form a popcorn stitch (pc).
    • Chain 2 after each petal.
  • Repeat this petal sequence in every base stitch to make 6 petals.
  • Join with a slip stitch at the end of the round.
  • (Each petal sits atop a base sc; chain spaces separate petals.)

Expansion

• Round 3:
  • Slip stitch (sl st) into the next chain space.
  • Chain 3.
  • In each space:
    • Work 2 petals per space using the popcorn stitch method.
    • Ensure to skip two spaces to leave an opening for the handbag’s top.
    • Continue the sequence to reach 10 petals total.
  • Join with a slip stitch at the end.
  • (This opens up the bag shape, giving dimension and an opening.)
• Repeat:
  • Make a second identical piece using the above foundation, petal base, and expansion steps.

Assembly

• Join edges with single crochet (sc) (or slip stitches) around the sides and bottom, leaving the top open for the functional handbag opening.
• Work evenly along each petal and chain space to ensure a neat seam.
• Secure the yarn with a knot, cut the excess, and weave ends into the interior for a clean finish.

Attaching Handles

• With a yarn needle and sturdy yarn, sew metal keyrings onto the top corners of the handbag, using several passes for strength.
• Attach the final keychain hook to one or both keyrings, depending on desired look and function.
• Confirm the hardware is firmly sewn; tug gently to ensure security.
