Easy Crochet Witch Keychain Pattern

Welcome to this delightful and easy-to-follow crochet pattern for a Witch Keychain! This charming project combines basic crochet techniques with simple assembly steps to craft a whimsical witch-themed accessory. Perfect for Halloween or as a quirky, handmade gift, this keychain features a twisted curly dress/body, a cute wooden bead head with vibrant yarn hair, a felt witch hat, and a miniature broomstick detail.

Whether you are a beginner looking to expand your skills or an experienced crocheter seeking a quick and fun project, this pattern guides you through every step with clear explanations and helpful notes.

Quick Overview of Pattern

Crochet a twisted curly dress/body using double crochet stitches over a foundation chain.
Create a hanging loop and simple legs with chains and slip stitches.
Craft broomstick hair and witch hair using cut yarn strands.
Assemble with a wooden bead head and a felt witch hat cone.
Attach to a keychain ring for a portable charm.

Notes

The body's twist is generated naturally by working multiple double crochets (4 dc) into each single chain stitch, causing the fabric to curl into a spiral.
The hanging loop allows you to attach the keychain easily to bags, keys, or backpacks.
Yarn colors can be customized for a fun, personal touch; traditional witch colors like black, orange, and purple work wonderfully.
Felt glue can be substituted with hot glue for a faster finish.
Use a tapestry needle for neat sewing and weaving in yarn ends.
The small size of the finished keychain makes it lightweight and quick to crochet.

Skill Level

Beginner to Intermediate: The pattern uses basic stitches such as chains, double crochet, and slip stitches along with simple assembly and embellishments. It's perfect to practice stitch control, shaping through stitch multiples, and using non-crochet materials in your crafts.

Materials

Fine or sport weight acrylic yarn in:
- Black (main body dress)
- Orange or Purple (hair)
- Brown or Tan (broom hair)
Crochet hook size 2.5 mm
2 cm wooden bead (for the witch's head)
Thick felt for hat (circle and cone shape)
Keychain ring or clasp
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Glue or hot glue gun

Measurements / Sizing (Approximate)

Body width: Around 5 cm, due to spiral curl from stitches.
Body length including legs: Around 10 cm, depending on chain length for legs.
Wooden bead: 2 cm diameter (head size).
Felt hat: Circle about 4 cm diameter, cone about 3 cm tall.
Yarn strand lengths: Tan broom hair about 5 cm; orange/purple hair about 10 cm strands.

Gauge and Stitch Pattern

Gauge is flexible due to project nature; focus on consistent tension to keep stitches neat.
The main stitch pattern revolves around working 4 double crochet (dc) stitches into each chain stitch of the foundation chain, naturally creating a twisting spiral effect.
Double crochet (dc) is slightly taller than single crochet, giving body texture and shape.

Stitch Abbreviations (US Terms)

Abbreviation	Stitch Name
ch	Chain
dc	Double Crochet
sl st	Slip Stitch

Special Stitches

Working multiple double crochets in one chain stitch: Using 4 dc in each chain creates fabric sharp increases causing natural curl or twist - no shaping needed beyond this.
Slip stitch joins: Slip stitches are used to join rounds or sections and create neat joins without adding height.

The Crochet Pattern

Part 1: Twisted Curly Dress / Body

Foundation Chain:
Using black (or your chosen yarn color) and a 2.5 mm hook, chain 30 stitches. This forms the starting base of the body and sets the width.
Row 1 (Working into foundation chain):
Starting from the 3rd chain from the hook, work 4 double crochet (4 dc) stitches into each individual chain across the entire 30 chains.
- This means in each chain: you will insert the hook and crochet 4 double crochet stitches, making the fabric naturally begin to curl into a spiral shape.
- Continue firmly but without tightness to avoid breaking yarn.
After completing the row, fasten off and weave in yarn ends neatly.

Note: This method builds a beautiful twisted, curly effect for the witch's dress/body without additional shaping.

Part 2: Hanging Loop & bow

Hanging Loop:
- Chain 30 (ch 30). This loop will allow you to attach your witch to a keyring or anywhere you prefer.
- Join by working 1 slip stitch (sl st) into the bottom loop of your body's base (this anchors the loop securely).
- Chain 3 (ch 3).
- Work 1 slip stitch (sl st) followed by 1 chain (ch 1) for additional decorative detail.
Bow:
- Chain 25 (ch 25).
- Fasten off after your bow are finished.

Part 3: Broomstick & Hair Details

Broom Hair / Tassel:
- Tan yarn, use about 5 cm a card, wraping yarn on card (25 times).
  - use stick 10 cm.
  - Attach tassel on the top of the stick.
  - Secure by knotting or sewing close.

Part 4: Assembly & Hat

Head Placement:
- Place and securely attach the 2 cm wooden bead over the top loop of the body (above the hanging loop) to represent the witch's head.
Witch Hat:
- Cut a circle from thick felt approximately 4 cm in diameter.
- Cut a cone shape out of felt approximately 3 cm tall.
- Glue the cone onto the felt circle base, forming a traditional witch's hat shape.
- Attach the completed hat on top of the wooden bead (head) with glue - hot glue works best for quick drying and sturdiness.
Final Touches:
- Thread the keychain ring through the hanging loop at the top of the hat or body.
- Attach the tiny broomstick to the keychain or sew it onto the body below the legs for a playful finish.

Finished Size

Total length with legs and hanging loop is approximately 10 cm.
Body width curls to about 5 cm due to twisted crochet fabric.
Felt hat adds about 3-4 cm in height above the bead.
The wooden bead head is about 2 cm in diameter creating a cute proportion with the body and accessories.
