Crochet Christmas Tree Keychain
Materials Needed:
- Brown yarn for the stem
- Green yarn for the leaves
- Color of your choice for the bubble (bobble) on top
- Keychain ring (optional)
- Scissors
- Stitch marker
- Sewing (SE) needle
- 3mm crochet hook
Christmas Tree Stem:
Starting Loop:
- Make a loop and work 3 double crochet (DC) into it.
First Row Increase:
- Work into the back loops only throughout this part. Increase in each of the next three stitches by placing two DC into each stitch.
Rows 3 to 5:
- One DC into each back loop only, making sure you have a total of six stitches for a row.
Rows 6 and 7:
- DC in each stitch through both loops (front and back) for two rows.
Sewing the Bottom:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and use a sewing needle to close the stem's bottom.
Leaf Part:
Starting:
- With the green yarn, work into the front loops of the stem's stitches.
Leaf Pattern:
- Use a mix of slip stitches, chains, DCs, half trebles (HTR), trebles (TR), and double trebles (DTR) to create the leaf pattern around the stem. Incorporate increases by chaining and working multiple stitches into the same space, following this basic sequence for the leaves to produce the leaf layers.
Special Stitches:
- A peacock stitch (instructional specifics noted in the video) is used as part of the leaf pattern for added texture.
Bobble (Bubble) on Top:
Creating the Bobble:
- Start with a magic loop and work 6 DC into the loop.
First Round:
- Increase by working two DC into each stitch around.
Second Round:
- Work one DC into each stitch around through both loops normally.
Closing the Bobble:
- Decrease by working two stitches together around until the loop is closed.
Finishing:
- Sew the bobble on top of the Christmas tree.
- Attach the keychain ring by sewing it into the top bobble.
