Which type of yarn should I use for this amigurumi dog keychain?
Dog keychains, like every keychain, will face a tough time, so choose a durable yarn. If you give it to little ones, the yarn should also be washable. We recommend you use acrylic yarn if you are a beginner. Otherwise, cotton is the best choice. The designer used thin-weight yarn for this amigurumi.
More Materials You Will Need
You will need the following crochet supplies in addition:
- 2mm hook: Using a smaller hook size for amigurumi is recommended, so the pattern uses such a tiny hook size. This hook will result in a tight appearance that keeps stuffing inside and gives the dog the required shape. Also, the smaller hook is better for the daisy applique.
- 6mm safety eyes: We recommend you avoid them if you have a little baby. However, if you want this dog keychain for yourself, you can use it without hesitation.
- Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill
- Stitch markers: These small tools will help you track your stitches.
- Keyring
Stitch and Abbreviations Used
Below are the stitches used in a crochet pattern, their guide, and abbreviations:
- Chain (ch): Begin with a slipknot on the hook. Yarn over (yo) and pull the yarn through the loop currently on the hook.
- Slip Stitch (sl st): Insert the hook in the stitch, pull through the stitch, and the loop is already on the hook.
- Single Crochet (sc): Insert hook in stitch, yo, and pull up a loop, yo again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
- Increase (inc): To increase in a single crochet, work two single crochet in the same stitch. It’s a way to shape your work by adding an extra stitch.
- Decrease (dec): To decrease in single crochet, insert hook in stitch, yo, pull up a loop, insert hook in next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo, and pull through all three loops on hook.
- Double Crochet (dc): Yo, insert hook in stitch, yo and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yo and pull through two loops, yo again and pull through final two loops on hook.
