Free Crochet Masterclass Cat Keychain

Free Crochet Masterclass: Cat Keychain by an Unknown Foreign Author

In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet a small keychain in the shape of a cat. The project uses amigurumi techniques and is perfect for beginners. You can use any thin yarn for this project, but if you choose thicker yarn, the toy will turn out larger. For the keychain, it’s ideal to use a fine thread and the appropriate crochet hook. All the details of the cat are sewn on. You will need two colors of yarn. For the eyes, you can use sewn half-beads with loops, beads, or simply glue half-beads.
