Welcome to our crochet tutorial! In this guide, we will show you how to make a charming lavender keychain. This project is quick, easy, and perfect for both beginners and experienced crocheters. You can customize it with different colors to match your preference. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed:

  • 5-ply milk cotton yarn (any color you like)

  • 3mm crochet hook

  • Scissors

  • Tapestry needle

Step 1: Creating the Lavender Petals

  1. Start with a slip knot.

  2. Chain 21.

  3. Begin making the petals from the second chain of the hook:

    • Yarn over, insert the hook into the loop, and pull out the yarn. You should have three loops on your hook.

    • Yarn over again and pull through two loops.

    • Yarn over once more and pull through the last two loops. This completes one double crochet.

  4. Chain one and slip stitch into the same stitch to complete the first petal.

  5. Move to the next stitch, slip stitch, chain one, and repeat the process.

  6. Continue this pattern 17 more times, so you have a total of 19 petals.

As you crochet, the petals will naturally curl, giving them a lavender-like appearance. Once you reach the end of the row:

  • Slip stitch into the last chain.

  • Finish off by chaining one, cutting the yarn, and fastening it securely.

  • Trim the excess yarn.

  • Repeat the process to make another lavender flower.

Step 2: Making the Leaves

  1. Start with a slip knot and chain 10.

  2. From the second chain of the hook:

    • Make five half double crochets.

    • Then, make four single crochets.

  3. Chain two and slip stitch into the very first chain to complete one side of the leaf.

  4. Work on the other side of the foundation chain:

    • Make four single crochets.

    • Followed by five half double crochets.

  5. Slip stitch into the first half double crochet to close the shape.

  6. Finish off by chaining one, cutting the yarn, and leaving a long tail for sewing.

  7. Make another leaf, but this time do not leave a long tail.

Step 3: Assembling the Keychain

  1. Insert the hook into the base stitch of one flower and attach a new strand of yarn.

  2. Chain 30.

  3. Attach the second flower by slip stitching into its base stitch.

  4. Finish off, chain one, cut the yarn, and fasten securely.

Step 4: Attaching the Leaves

  1. Fold the stem in half, leaving a small loop at the top to attach your keyring.

  2. Use a tapestry needle to sew the leaves onto the lower part of the stem.

  3. Ensure the needle passes through both leaves and the stem for secure attachment.

  4. Continue sewing back and forth until the leaves are firmly in place.

Final Touches

Once everything is assembled, your beautiful lavender keychain is ready to use! You can add a keyring through the small loop at the top and enjoy your handmade creation.
