Crochet Snoopy Keychain
Materials Needed:
- Crochet yarn (main color and black for the ears, red for the collar)
- Crochet hook
- Stitch marker
- Yarn needle
- Stuffing material
- Safety eyes and a piece of felt or a button for the nose
Pattern:
Legs (Make 2):
- Start with a slip knot, chain 5.
After Round 1:
- Start from the second chain from the hook, make an increase (2 single crochets in one stitch), then single crochet in the next 3 chains, make 4 single crochets in the last chain. Turn your piece to crochet 4 more stitches along the other side of the chain.
Round 2:
- Start with a single crochet, then an increase, followed by three single crochets, another increase, then another three single crochets, and finish with an increase.
Rounds 3-6:
- Continue as described in the video, with round 3 being simple single crochets around, round 4 including decreases to shape the leg, and rounds 5-6 for further shaping and finishing.
Hands (Make 2):
- Start with a magic ring, crochet 8 single crochets into the ring.
Rounds 1-7:
- Single crochet around for a total of 7 rounds. Finish without stuffing the hands.
Body (for standing Snoopy):
- Start with a magic ring, follow a pattern of increases to widen the body, and rounds of single crochets to lengthen it. Rounds 4 and 12 involve attaching the already made legs and hands appropriately.
- Work through rounds as described to shape the body, attaching legs during round 4 and hands during round 12, finishing with a round to close off the body.
Head:
- The head starts with a magic ring and follows a pattern of increases and regular rounds to shape the Snoopy head.
- Ears are added (black yarn), shaped mainly through simple rounds and decreases.
Sitting Snoopy Body:
- The main difference for the sitting Snoopy is in rounds 4 and 12, where you don't attach legs and hands as in the standing version. Instead, you continue crocheting around to create a base and body suitable for a sitting posture.
- Legs are sewn onto the body in a sitting position afterwards.
Details:
Eyes:
- Embroidered or safety eyes placed around round 7 of the head.
Nose:
- A small black felt or button sewn or glued in place.
Ears:
- Made separately and sewn onto the head.
Collar:
- A chain of red yarn, enhanced with slip stitches, then sewn around the neck.
Final Assembly:
- Sew all parts together as described, ensuring the legs (for sitting Snoopy) and hands are positioned and sewn securely.
- Add any additional details like the collar and facial features as per the steps outlined.
