Amigurumi Rabbit Keychain Crochet Pattern

An adorable amigurumi rabbit keychain, this project blends playful shaping, popcorn stitch accents, and expressive finishing touches. Crafted with 100% cotton yarn and a small hook for tight, neat stitches, the rabbit is brought to life with embroidered facial features and a practical hanging loop. Double-tone yarn lends character, but any palette may be used for your own unique creation.

Pattern Basic Points

• Made in one piece: The body, arms, head, and ears of the rabbit are all worked using continuous rounds and structured shaping.
• Textured accents: Popcorn stitches form distinct legs and arms, adding dimension and tactile appeal.
• Minimal sewing: Ears and features are integrated, requiring only the addition of embroidery and a keychain loop at the end.
• Embroidered face: Black cotton thread is used for eyes and nose after the main form is complete.
• Sturdy and neat: Worked tightly with a small hook for durability and a professional finish.

Special Notes

• Use a tight, consistent tension to ensure stuffing remains inside and details are crisp.
• The pattern is worked in spiral (continuous) rounds; mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker.
• Double-shaded yarn offers natural variation-a single color will also work beautifully.
• Safety eyes can be substituted for embroidery, but are not recommended for small children.
• Measure and shape the ears symmetrically for the best result.
