Material need
1: worsted yarn black, red & yellow.
Any type of yarn are ok. I’m using cotton yarn.
2: 3mm crochet hook & yarn needle
3: Polyester fiberfill (stuffing)
4: Key ring
Is fun making amigurumi but I don’t really enjoy the joining/attaching part ^^!!! . I received a bulk custom order to make ‘mickey key chains’. A special customer of mine wanted this as a gift for her best friends on her birthday. Once she shown me a sample, I had a quick search on making a sphere and found this pattern by Ms Premise-Conclusion in Ravelry. Using the technique, and turn it to the sizes I wanted, play with colours, added ears and some mickey identity, and yay! Crochet Mickey Keychain pattern as below. Beside Mickey Mouse, I had made Donald Duck & Hello Kitty character’s key chain from this sphere pattern too.
