Amigurumi palm-sized house key chain

| Divya

Hello there, let’s just say lazing around in the house might have inspired me to make this palm sized house key chain. The pattern’s a no big fuss and might only take you a day to complete this entire project.

Crochet Hook : 2.5mm
Yarn : Medium weight off-white, brown, green colored yarn. Ultimately it all depends on how you want to decorate the house.

Note:
If there’s a semi colon in between rounds it means those rounds are sc around without and increase or decrease.

Walls of the house,
Make two of each of these types of walls
Chain 16
Turn, (skipping the first chain, sc 14, chain 1, turn) * 10 rows
Approx. 6 x 5 cms

Chain 13
Turn, (skipping the first chain, sc 11, chain 1, turn) * 10 rows

For the effect of tiles, I’ve used crocodile stitch. Just follow this video, including the stitch count and you should be able to achieve it. Instead of 5 dc at each side of the scallop I’ve used only four since it’s a tiny little project.

Rabbit’s body:

Round 1: 8 sc in a magic circle. (8)
Round 2: 2sc in each. (16)
Round 3: [sc in the sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 8 times. (24)

Round 16: sc around. (24)
Round 17: [sc in the next sc, dec in the next] * 8 times. (16)
Finish and leave a long tail to sew the body to the head

Rabbit’s eyes:

I’m not sure if I did full justice to her eyes, I wanted some naive looking ones and my husband says it makes her look like an owl.
Using black coloured yarn,
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2 sl st in each sc around. (12)
Adding the white coloured yarn,
Make 8 sc in a semi circle.

Rabbit’s ears:

Using pink coloured yarn, the ears are worked in single crochet through and I hope it makes sense to just put down the number of stitches in each row if it is 1sc in each sc
Row 1: Chain 7 (6)
Row 2: (6)
Row 3: (6)
Row 4: 2sc(inc),1sc in each sc(4), 2sc(inc). (8)
Row 5: (8)
Row 6: (8)
Row 7: 2sc(inc),1sc in each sc(6), 2sc(inc). (10)
Row 8: (10)
Row 9: (10)
Row 10: 2sc(inc),1sc in each sc(8), 2sc(inc). (12)
Row 11: (12)
Row 12: (12)
Row 13: 2sc(inc),1sc in each sc(10), 2sc(inc). (14)
Row 14: (14)
Row 15: (14)
Row 16: (14)
Row 17: 1sc(dec),1sc in each sc(10), 1sc(dec). (12)
Row 18: 1sc(dec),1sc in each sc(8), 1sc(dec). (10)
Row 19: 1sc(dec),1sc in each sc(6), 1sc(dec). (8)
Row 20: 1sc(dec),1sc in each sc(4), 1sc(dec). (6)
Using gray coloured yarn single crochet around the ears. I have a feeeling it would look better with a furry yarn.

Rabbit’s legs:

Using gray colored yarn and working in rounds,
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (12)
Round 3: [sc in the sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (18)

Rabbit’s arms:

Using gray colored yarn and working in rounds,
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (12)
Round 3: [sc in the sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (18)

Round 10: 1sc, dec, 1sc, dec, 1sc, dec, 1sc till the end(6). (12)
Finish, stuff and sew all the parts to its body.

Rabbit’s skirt:

Using pink colored yarn, join in at the region where the top of the dress meets the undergarments of the bunny.
Round 1: sl st around. (40)
Round 2: [sc in the next 4 sl st, 2sc in the next sl st]* 8 times (48).
Round 3: [sc in the next 5sc, 2sc in the next] * 8 times. (56).
Round 4: [sc in the next 6sc, 2sc in the next] * 8 times. (64).
Round 5: [sc in the next 7sc, 2sc in the next] * 8 times. (72).
Round 6: [sc in the next 8sc, 2sc in the next] * 8 times. (80).
Now for the scalloped trim at the end,
[sc, chain 2, skip 1] repeat around the skirt.
For the collar I have joined in the pink colored yarn in a similar manner at the neck, and worked in rounds till it looked like one.

Hello everybody!

How are you all doing? Lets make this post an official announcement, a major life update that I’m soon going to be a mum. I’m expecting my first child this July and the only thing that has got me excited about my due date falling during

the Victorian winter is that I can make cute woolen stuff for the baby. So here’s one of the many things I’ve made, its from a free pattern I found on Ravelry called the Baby sophisticate. You very well know that I’m no experienced knitter and if I could make something by just following the pattern I’m sure you can too. 🙂

Dress_snow_white
Round 1: 18 sc. (18) (I understand there’s only going to be 17 chains, but somehow manage to squeeze in another single crochet)
Round 2: sc around. (18)
Round 3: sc around. (18)
Round 4: [sc in the next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (24)
Round 5: sc around. (24)
Round 6: sc around. (24)

DSC01983
Round 7: [sc in the next 3sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 2 times, chain 5, [sc in the next 3sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 2 times (This makes the arm hole space for snow white’s dress)
Round 8: [sc in the next 3sc, dec in the next sc] * 6 times (24)
Round 9: [sc in the next 2sc, dec in the next sc] * 6 times (18)

Now for those puffy arms, I’ve used a different shade of blue, you may use the same one and make two of those

Round 1: Chain 7, sl st into the last chain to form a circle. sc into each of the chains. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (12)
Round 3: [sc in each sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (18)
Round 4: sc around. (18)
Round 5: sc around. (18)
Round 6: [sc in each sc, dec in the next] * 6 times. (12)
Round 7: dec 6 times. (6)

For the white collar bit of snow white’s dress attach the yarn inside out like we did attached the top to the skirt.

Step 1: 12sc in the area where you want you collar to be
Step 2: Chain 2, turn and 1dc in each of the sc across. Finish and weave in the ends.

I feel like I could have lengthened the skirt a bit, but it works perfectly well to be used as a keychain, finger puppet’s clothes and what not.
