This project is great for using up yarn scraps. Cotton or acrylic yarn works well depending on your texture preference — cotton gives more structure, while acrylic offers softness.
A few basic stitches are all you need: chain (ch), single crochet (sc), slip stitch (sl st), and occasionally double crochet (dc) for decorative effects.
We’ll begin with one of the most popular motifs for the Crochet Christmas Keychain – Free Pattern — the Christmas tree. It’s a classic and perfect for customizing.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
This simple Crochet Christmas Keychain can be scaled and stylized however you like. It’s a versatile base for dozens of variations.
Beyond trees, here are five more ideas to expand your collection of Crochet Christmas Keychain – Free Pattern designs:
A triangle made of red yarn with a white brim and pom-pom. Start with a magic circle, increasing in rounds until you reach the base size, then add the white rows.
Chain 20 using red and white held together. Work sc across, shaping the cane by curving the chain. Optionally, crochet in back loops only for a stripe effect.
Use white yarn and work a circular motif. There are many one-round snowflake patterns online, or you can make a star shape with picot edges.
Crochet two small squares and stitch them together with fiberfill inside. Use a contrasting yarn to embroider a bow or wrap around as ribbon.
Make a circle in brown yarn. Add a white wavy top as icing. Decorate with small green leaves and a red “berry” using embroidery.
Each motif brings a different energy to your keychain collection. You can create a full set and use them for different purposes: zipper pulls, tree ornaments, or even handmade gift tags.
