Crochet Pearly Crucifix Keychain
Materials Needed:
- Yarn
- Crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Liquid silicone glue for assembling
- Decoration (optional, e.g., dove, pearl)
- Keyring and/or earring ring for hanging
Pattern:
Magic Ring Start:
- Create a magic ring.
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first elongated double crochet).
- Make 3 elongated double crochets inside the magic ring.
Creating the Arms of the Crucifix:
- Chain 3.
- Inside the same magic ring, make 4 elongated double crochets.
- Repeat the process of chaining 3 and making 4 elongated double crochets until you have four groups, each separated by 3 chains.
Closing the Circle:
- Close the magic ring by slip stitching into the third chain of the initial chain-3.
- Tighten the magic ring to secure.
Building the Next Layers:
- Transition to the next space by slip stitching.
- Chain 3 and make 3 elongated double crochets in the same space.
- Chain 3, then perform a spike stitch in the corresponding spot (outside the last stitch).
Repeating the Pattern:
- In the same space, make another 4 elongated double crochets.
- Chain 3 and slip stitch in the same space.
- Continue this pattern for all spaces, ensuring you replicate the layout symmetrically for all arms of the crucifix.
Finalizing the Shape:
- After completing all sides, fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends using a tapestry needle.
- For color changing technique, follow the narrative provided in the scrape to change colors seamlessly between rows.
Assembling and Decoration:
- If making a double-sided crucifix, create another piece following the same pattern.
- Use liquid silicone glue to attach both pieces together.
- Decorate with your choice of ornament (e.g., dove, pearl) by gluing it to the center or desired location on the crucifix.
Attach a keyring to the top of the crucifix for hanging. Alternatively, use a ring from an earring to serve as the hanging loop.
