  2. Insert your hook through stitches from both layers (align stitches carefully).
  3. Pull up your yellow yarn through both layers and make a sl st.

Step 2: Begin Petals

  1. Ch 2.
  2. Into the next stitch (going through both layers), work the following sequence:
    • 1 dc, 1 tr, ch 2, 1 tr, 1 dc (all into the same stitch).
    • This forms one petal.Crochet Sunflower Keychain Pattern
  3. Into the next stitch, work a sl st to secure the petal and move to the next stitch.

  3. Repeat this pattern (ch 2, petal sequence, sl st) all the way around until the last stitch is reached.

Finishing Petals:

  1. After the last petal, join with a sl st back into the starting stitch.
  2. Ch 1, fasten off, leaving a clean edge.

Keychain Assembly

  1. Grab your keychain ring or attachment and place it between two petals.
  2. Use tweezers or pliers to close the keychain loop securely.
  3. Ensure the keychain is attached firmly for proper use.

Finishing Steps

  1. Weave in any loose ends using the tapestry needle.
  2. Check the petals to make sure they are evenly distributed. Adjust any stitches if necessary.
  3. Snip excess yarn neatly for a tidy finish.Crochet Sunflower Keychain Pattern

Conclusion

This Sunflower Keychain is a quick and adorable project to brighten your accessories! Whether for personal use, gifting, or selling, it can be customized easily with bold or pastel shades of yellow and brown yarn. The petals give it a fun, textured look, mimicking a cheerful sunflower.

Pattern Correction

  • If your petals or center look uneven, double-check your stitches and ensure proper alignment when joining the two brown centers.
  • If the sunflower feels too loose, tighten the stitches when attaching petals.

Tips for Success

  1. Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds and ensure accurate increases.
  2. Hold the centers neatly together and work slowly to join them for clean edges.
  3. To create a more defined textured sunflower, add a contrasting color (like white or orange) for the keychain ring attachment or outer trim.
