Crochet Flower Keychain || Tunisian Stitch

Creating a crochet flower keychain using the Tunisian stitch can be a fun and rewarding project! Here’s a simple guide to help you make a Tunisian stitch flower keychain. Tunisian crochet combines elements of crochet and knitting to create a unique texture.

Materials:

• Yarn (in your choice of color)
• Tunisian crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
• Keychain ring
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Stitches Used:

• Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS): Insert hook in the next vertical bar, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
• Slip Stitch: Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, and pull through both loops.
• Chain Stitch: Yarn over, pull through the loop on the hook.

Instructions:

1. Flower Petals (Tunisian Crochet)

• Foundation Chain: Chain 6.
• Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) Row:
  • Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook.
  • Pull up a loop and leave it on the hook. Repeat across the rest of the chain (you’ll have 6 loops on your hook).
  • For the return pass, yarn over and pull through one loop on the hook (this is the chain stitch). Then yarn over and pull through two loops at a time across the row until you have one loop left.
• Rows 2-5: Continue working in TSS. Each time, pull up loops in the vertical bars of the previous row, and work a return pass in the same way (yarn over and pull through two loops at a time).
• Final Row: Once you’ve finished five rows, bind off by slip stitching across the row. Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail.

2. Forming the Petals

• You’ll now have a small Tunisian crochet rectangle.
• Make 4-5 of these rectangles (one for each petal).
• Fold each rectangle in half and sew the sides together with the yarn tail to form the petal shape.
• Arrange the petals in a circular shape and stitch them together in the center.

3. Adding a Center

• You can add a small crochet circle or use a button for the center of the flower.
  • To crochet a small circle, use a magic ring, work 6 single crochets into it, then close the ring. Attach the circle to the center of the flower with a yarn needle.

4. Attaching the Keychain Ring

• Use yarn or a jump ring to attach the flower to the keychain ring securely.
• Make sure to reinforce the attachment by sewing through the flower a few times.

5. Finishing

• Weave in any loose ends with the yarn needle.
• Trim excess yarn.

Now you have a cute Tunisian stitch crochet flower keychain! Would you like a visual diagram or more detailed instructions for any specific part of the process?
