Amigurumi Baymax Keychain Pattern

This Baymax amigurumi keychain is a soft, huggable chibi version of the iconic robot companion, complete with a gentle smile and tiny heart detail. Its simplified construction, smooth shapes, and easy assembly make it an excellent project for both gift-making and collecting, or as a stress-relieving fidget buddy. This amigurumi is designed with clean lines and all parts crocheted in the round for a seamless finish, ideal for crafters working on plushes that double as functional accessories.

Skill Level

Beginner to Intermediate:
The construction is suitable for newer amigurumi makers already comfortable with working in continuous rounds and basic shaping. The pattern introduces easy color changes for facial and chest details, flat piece shaping (for legs), plus gentle sewing and face embroidery, making it perfect for developing assembly and finishing skills.

Materials

• Mercerized Cotton Yarn:
  • White (main body, head, limbs)
  • Black (face detail)
  • Red/Carmine (heart on chest)
• Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm
• Stuffing: Silicone cotton or polyester fiberfill
• Safety Eyes: 8mm
• Tapestry Needle: For sewing and embroidery
• Scissors
• Stitch Marker: For marking the beginning of rounds (optional)
• Keychain Ring (optional): For attachment

Special Stitches

• Magic Ring (MR): Adjustable ring to start all amigurumi pieces with a tightly closed center.
• Increase (inc): 2 single crochet in the same stitch.
• Decrease (dec): Single crochet two stitches together (sc2tog).
• Picot Stitch: Chain 1, slip stitch in first chain for a small point (used in heart).
• Oval Start: Working around a foundation chain for flat oval leg bases.

Stitch Abbreviations

• sc - single crochet
• inc - increase
• dec - decrease
• MR - magic ring
• ch - chain
• sl st - slip stitch
• st(s) - stitch(es)
• rep - repeat

Useful Tips

• Use a stitch marker at the start of each round, especially for the continuous rounds of head and body, to avoid losing track.
• Insert safety eyes before closing the head, spacing them precisely for Baymax's characteristic expression.
• Take time with the black facial line-tighten your embroidery as you go for the cleanest result.
• Stuff parts firmly for a symmetrical finish, particularly in the head and body.
• Do not overstuff the arms; leaving them unstuffed creates Baymax's signature soft arms.
• When starting leg ovals, ensure you work evenly around for a flat, stable base.
