Crochet Barbiecore Flamingo Keychain

Material:

Crochet yarn
Crochet hook
Needle
Scissors
Wire for firmness (optional)
Keychain ring and clasp
Beads (optional for decoration)

Pattern Instructions:

Starting the Keychain:

Make 19 chains.
Skip a chain and turn. In this chain, make a single crochet.
Continue by making a single crochet in each back loop of the chains. You should have 13 in total.
After the 13 single crochets, make two double crochets in the next four chains. In the next chain, make two double crochets, and repeat this three more times in each chain.
In the last chain, execute five double crochets.
Finish this part by making one slip stitch. Lengthen, cut the thread, and fasten off.

Creating the Beak:

Insert the needle in the third chain from the hook, secure your thread, and make three chains.
Skip one chain, and in the next, make a single crochet. Similarly, make a single crochet in the next chain.
Then, at the base, do a single crochet and a slip stitch in the same space. Secure the thread.

Eyes and Assembly:

Embroider the eye.
Make an identical part for the other side.
Sew the two parts together.
Use a wire inside for added firmness to the piece.

Body of the Heart:

Start with a magic ring, followed by two chains.
Inside the magic ring, make three treble crochets, four half double crochets. For the tip of the heart, make one treble crochet, four half double crochets, and then three double crochets.
Continue with two chains, and then make a slip stitch inside the magic ring to complete the first row.
For the second row, begin with a chain and a single crochet in the first double crochet of the previous row. Mark this point.
In the same point, make one half double crochet.
Make two half double crochets in the same point twice (these are increases).
Continue as per the pattern, eventually working your way around to make the heart shape, finishing with a chain and a slip stitch.

Legs for the Heart:

For the first leg, make 15 chains, then turn and work back along the chains with three double crochets in one loop, followed by slip stitches.
For the second leg, start with a slip stitch in the next stitch from the first leg, make 18 chains, then turn, making incomplete double crochets to form a cluster, followed by two double crochets in each of the next stitches.

Final Steps:

Connect the two crocheted heart pieces, placing the wire (if used) between them, and sew them together.
Attach the keyring and clasp to the top of the heart.
Optionally, add beads for decoration.
