Crochet Cake Roll Keychain
Materials Needed:
- Yarn of your choice
- 2 mm crochet hook
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
Cake Layer:
Start by making 43 chains.
- Create a slip knot to begin the chain.
- Yarn over and pull through to make the first chain. Continue this to complete 43 chains.
- Identify the chains and locate the left strand of the 4th chain.
- Insert the hook into this strand, yarn over and pull through.
- You will have three loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through two loops, then yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops to create one double crochet.
- Make 40 double crochets in total.
After completing 40 double crochets, make a chain, pull out the yarn slightly, and cut it to finish the cake layer.
Cream Layer:
Make 33 chains using the same method as the cake layer.
- Start with a slip knot, then yarn over and pull through to create the chains.
- Work 30 double crochets for the cream layer.
- Once done, make another chain, pull out the yarn slightly, and cut it.
Cherry:
Start with a magic ring.
- Make a loop, insert the hook and make two chains.
- Create six half double crochets into the magic ring.
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch.
- Once you have six half double crochets, pull the yarn to tighten the loop and close the magic ring.
- Make a slip stitch into the first half double crochet to join the round, then make a chain.
- Pull out the yarn slightly and cut it.
- Tighten the loop to give the cherry a round shape.
- Insert the hook in the center and pull through a yarn to create the stem of the cherry. Cut to the desired length.
Assembly:
Use the hot glue gun to stick the cream layer onto the cake layer. Be cautious, as the glue may be hot.
- Finally, glue the cherry on top of the cream layer.
Finishing Touches:
Ensure that you securely attach all parts together with glue.
- Optionally, you can add a key ring or loop of yarn to turn the crochet cake into a keychain.
