Bull Keychain Crochet Tutorial
This crochet tutorial by Olga Nesterova will guide you in creating an adorable bull keychain. The pattern uses a 1.75 mm crochet hook and cotton yarn in two colors. All parts of the bull are crocheted separately and then assembled, with a small amount of stuffing for a soft yet firm finish.
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Gazzal Baby Cotton or Alize Cotton Gold in two colors (I used purple for the body and beige for the snout)
- Black Iris Thread (for embroidering the nostrils and eyebrows)
- 5 mm Black Half Beads (for eyes)
- Superglue (for attaching the eyes)
- Crochet Hook: 1.75 mm
- Scissors (for trimming yarn)
- Keychain Attachment
- Wire Cutters (for compressing the keychain ring)
- Thick Needle (for sewing parts together)
- Stuffing: Hollowfiber
- Satin Ribbon: 5 cm wide and 20-25 cm long (for decoration)
