Crochet Zebra Keychain Amigurumi
Materials:
- Black and white yarn
- Crochet hook
- Scissors
- Stuffing
- Embroidery needle
- Keychain ring
- A little bit of blush (non-toxic, for coloring)
Pattern:
Face and Ears:
- Crochet the face and ears following the pattern for the Unicorn face and ears. (Details not provided in the text; refer to the pattern for the Unicorn).
Attach Ears:
- Position and sew the ears on the head just above the eyes and secure them well.
Embroider Stripes:
- With black yarn, embroider three stripes on the zebra’s face, making sure the stitches are long. Secure the stitches by going over them and then cutting off any excess yarn or stuffing.
Main:
- Start with a black yarn to make a slip stitch. Insert the hook between the ears at the center of the head and pull up a loop.
- Count this as your first stitch (single crochet) and single crochet 9 more times down the center of the head, making a total of 10 single crochets.
- Chain 2 and turn your work.
Stripe Pattern:
- Do 3 double crochets in the same stitch and the next stitch.
- Attach the white yarn and make 3 double crochets in the next stitch. Hide the yarn ends by crocheting over them.
- Alternate between black and white yarn, doing 3 double crochets in each subsequent stitch, following the pattern for the zebra’s mane.
- Once you reach the last stitch, it might be hard to see, so pull the stitches back to find the last one and do 3 double crochets there as well.
Finish:
- Chain one and then fasten off the yarn. You can choose to have the mane stand upright or sew it down a bit for a fringe look.
Tail:
- Not mentioned in the provided text, you’ll likely need to create and attach a tail similar to the mane.
Cheeks:
- Attach the cheeks to your zebra. (Details for making the cheeks are not provided in the text).
Keychain:
- Attach the keychain rings by inserting the ring next to the mane and securing it.
Optional Coloring:
- Gently use a piece of retractable crayon to add some blush to the zebra’s cheeks for added color.
