Beautiful crochet keychain

Great! I can show you how to make this. This is a crochet bag/leaf keychain holder made using two metal rings and single crochet worked in a V shape with increases in the center.

✅ MATERIALS

• Yarn: Medium weight (No. 3 or No. 4)
• Hook: 3.0 mm – 4.0 mm (choose based on yarn)
• 2 metal rings (keychain rings or curtain rings)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

✅ STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Cover the First Ring

1. Hold the first ring in your left hand.
2. Make a slip knot on your hook.
3. Insert your hook under the ring, yarn over, pull through → you catch the yarn on the ring.
4. Chain 1 to secure.
5. Now work Single Crochet (SC) around the ring:
   • Insert hook under the ring,
   • Yarn over,
   • Pull up a loop,
   • Yarn over,
   • Pull through both loops → SC made.
6. Repeat until the ring is full and the stitches are tight and close together.

You should have about 20–25 SC around the ring (number is not important).

STEP 2: Start the First Row

• Turn your work.
• Chain 1.
• SC in each stitch across.
• Turn.

---

STEP 3: Begin the V Shape (Center Increase Every Row)

You must find the center stitch every row.

Example:
If you have 21 stitches, the center stitch is number 11.

Now follow this pattern for each row:

Row Pattern:
SC in each stitch until you reach the center stitch.
In the center stitch: make 3 SC in the same stitch.  (This creates the V shape.)
Continue SC to the end.
Chain 1 and turn.

TIP:

To easily find center stitch:
Put a stitch marker in the center increase every row.
Each row, move the marker into the new center stitch of the 3-SC group.

Repeat Step 3

Work about 12–15 rows, or until your triangle looks like the red one in the picture.

Your work will look like this:

⟙ ← V shape growing because of 3 SC in the center

---

STEP 4: Attach to Second Ring

1. When finished with the last row, do not cut yarn.
2. Hold the second ring next to the last row edge.
3. Insert hook under the ring, yarn over, pull up loop, yarn over, pull through both loops → SC on the ring.
4. Continue making SC around the ring, working evenly.
   • Each stitch on the edge corresponds to one SC on the ring.
5. Make sure the stitches are close together and firm.

STEP 5: Finish

• Cut yarn.
• Pull tail through stitch to lock.
• Use yarn needle to weave in ends.

✅ NOW: Make the Shell Shape (Like the Gray Example)

The red piece is flat. To create the shell or fan texture:

1. Fold the triangle slightly at the center crease.
2. Match the two sides.
3. Stitch the edges together from ring to ring using whip stitch or slip stitch.
4. Do not tighten too much—keep the shape puffed.

This creates the rounded ribbed shell shape.

⭐ OPTIONAL IMPROVEMENT FOR BEAUTIFUL RIB TEXTURE

To get deeper lines like the picture:

Work your stitches IN THE BACK LOOP ONLY starting from Row 2.

So your row becomes:

SC in Back Loop Only (BLO) until center.
3 SC in BLO in center.
SC in BLO to end.
Ch1, turn.

This is what gives the ribbed shell effect.
