Free Crochet Masterclass: Amigurumi Chick Keychain by Tatyana Bodrova (@tata.igrushki)
In this masterclass, you’ll learn how to crochet small plush chick keychains with bows using amigurumi techniques. The instructions are simple and ideal for beginners or anyone looking to create cute little toys. You can use any plush yarn for this project, such as LaVita Velur, Himalaya Velvet, or Himalaya Dolphin Baby. All parts are crocheted in a spiral unless stated otherwise. The yarn consumption is minimal, making this an excellent project for using up yarn leftovers. The legs are crocheted separately and then attached to the body as you go. The beak is made with puff stitches.
