ByClaire April 30, 2024April 30, 2024

Let’s make a super cute Crochet Sleeping Fox Keychain following this easier pattern. It looks amazing as a tiny, soft fox that looks like it’s taking a cozy nap. We’ll use bright orange yarn for most of it and add a little white touch to make it even prettier. At the bottom, we’ll add some fun tassel bits that swing around and make this keychain extra adorable. This pattern is really simple, and so much fun to bring this sleeping fox to life. You’re going to love how it turns out, and it’ll be a lovely new piece in your crochet keychain collection.

Crochet Fox Keychain

Materials:

Orange and white Yarn with a corresponding crochet hook.
Stuffing
Tapestry needle
scissors

Abbreviations:

Sc – Single Crochet
Hdc – Half double Crochet

slst = slip stitch

Let’s get started!

Ears x2 (Orange):

1- Magic ring with 6sc (6);
2- 6sc (6);
3- (2sc, dec)x2 (8)
4- (3sc, dec)x2 (10)

Close the opening across with sc.

Embroider the inner part of the ear with white thread and sew on the fox’s head.

Embroider nose and eyes with black thread, if possible thinner to make it more delicate.

Handle for key ring:

Make a chain foundation of the desired size (I made 30), and work back doing slst until the end. Fasten off and hide the ends.

Head (Orange):

Stuff as you go.

1- Magic ring with 6sc (6);
2- 6inc (12);
3- (1sc, inc)x6 (18)
4- 1sc, inc, (2sc, inc)x5, 1sc (24);
5- (3sc, inc)x6 (30);
6 – 7-30sc (30) (2 rounds); Change to white:
8- 10sc, 6sc, 14sc (30);
9- 11sc, 4sc, 15sc (30);
10- 12sc, 2sc, 16sc (30);
11-30sc (30);
12- (3sc, dec)x6 (24);
13- 1sc, dec, (2sc, dec)x5, 1sc (18);
14- (1sc, dec)x6 (12);
15-6dec (6);

Rounds 8,9 e 10 are worked with white and orange. Change to orange on marked orange bold stitches.

Fasten off and close the hole with a tapestry needle. Hide the ends.

Tassel:

Use a base with the desired size for the tassel (for example, I used a small diary), wrap the thread several times until it is full, and cut only one side.

Fold the threads together in half and pass with white thread making a kind of clamp to hold everything in place.

Sew on the bottom of the fox’s head.
