About This Strawberry Key Chain Pattern
- This is an easy pattern that starts by crocheting a circle in the first and second rounds.
- In rounds number 3 - 7, the strawberry pattern takes shape by skipping and decreasing the number of stitches in each row.
- It can be a bit fiddle to work on especially for someone who has not crocheted a small item, but do persevere because you quickly get used to working on something this small.
- It is a fast little project that can be made in less than 15 minutes.
- Unlike a crochet amigurumi strawberry keychain that is made with single crochet stitches and filled with stuffing, this crochet keychain is flat and worked in double crochet stitches.

What Kind Of Yarn Do You Use For Crochet Keychains?
We prefer to use 100% cotton yarn because it is strong and durable and tends to look better for longer because it does not fray or pill like acrylic and other yarns do.
However, it is a personal choice, so use whatever you prefer.
