With a simple yet elegant design, you’ll be able to create these pouches in no time, even if you’re a beginner. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky cotton yarn in pink, peach, and yellow
• Hook: 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Keyring: Metal keyring for attaching your pouch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop. You now have a magic ring ready to work into.
2. Round 1: Crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. To do this, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on your hook. Repeat this 6 times. Pull the tail of the magic ring to close it.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. This means you will crochet 2 single crochets into each of the 6 stitches from Round 1, giving you a total of 12 stitches. (12 sts)
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, then increase in the next stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round. (18 sts)
5. Rounds 4-8: For the next five rounds, simply single crochet in each stitch around. You will maintain 18 stitches throughout these rounds. (18 sts)
6. Round 9: *Single crochet in the next stitch, then decrease over the next two stitches.* Repeat this pattern around. You will end up with 12 stitches. (12 sts)
7. Round 10: Decrease around. This means you will crochet together two stitches at a time until you have 6 stitches left. (6 sts)
8. Fasten off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last 6 stitches to close the bottom of the pouch securely.
9. Weave in the ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends to give your pouch a neat finish.
10. Create a chain: To make a chain for your keyring, crochet a chain of 15 stitches. Once done, fasten off and leave a long tail.
11. Attach the chain: Use the long tail to sew the chain to the top of the pouch securely.
12. Attach to a keyring: Finally, take your completed chain and attach it to a metal keyring. Your charming crochet keychain pouch is now ready to use!
