And while you’re at it, crochet this stuffed bunny as a gift for her, too. We know how much little girls love their stuffed animals.
Crochet Keychain Sizes
Here’s a closer look at the crochet bunny keychain. Mommy Bunny’s body measures about 4.5″ x 2.75″, while Daughter Bunny’s is about 2.75″ x 1.75″ (not including the keychain, tassel, and ballerina skirt).
Crochet Supplies
We managed to keep the materials to a minimum. All you need are some keychains and crochet raffia yarn in different colors.
You can also choose a different type of yarn of your choice. However, using other yarn weights may change the size of your crochet bunny. The good news is that the size isn’t really important for a crochet keychain. But if you want to get the same results I did, check out the yarn I used.
You can also add a tassel or a little bell with a snap ring if you want to make it even more unique.
Crochet Tools
The tools are the usual crochet kit – a 2.5 mm crochet hook, a stitch marker, a tapestry needle, and a warm iron.
Skill Level
The steps are pretty simple, and it’s an easy crochet keychain for beginners. To summarize, you need to crochet the ears and the pink bow first before moving on to the face. Then you can complete the bunny crochet bunny keychain by adding a key ring and the tassel or a ballerina skirt.

MORE DETAILS ON HOW TO CROCHET A BUNNY KEYCHAIN
Mommy Bunny Pendant
- Gather all the materials and tools listed above.
This crochet bunny keychain is crochet with raffia yarn. However, you can crochet with another yarn of your choice, as long as it can be blocked and pressed into a flat piece and the finished size is reasonable.
Crochet according to the written pattern of Ear 1 and Ear 2.
- Join Ear 1 and Ear 2 in Rnd 10 to continue to crochet the face.
- Follow the crochet pattern to complete the mommy crochet bunny keychain and a bow.
Block the crochet piece by pressing it flat with a warm iron (medium heat setting, with or without steam).
Get ready a jump ring and tassel (optional).
- Sew the bow in place on the forehead with a tapestry needle. Note that don't sew through the bottom layer of the bunny so the stitches don't show on the other side of the keychain.
Sew the nose lines with a tapestry needle by inserting the needle at point 1, leaving a long tail of yarn for the knotting.
Take out the needle at point 2.
Insert the needle at point 3, and take the needle out at point 5.
Cross the needle with the yarn at point 4.
Stitch in at point 6 and take out the needle at point 1.
- Knot both ends of the yarn together. Weave the yarns inside the bunny to hide the knot.
- You may attach the optional tassel to the bottom of the face to finish the mommy bunny keychain. Add a keychain by hooking the jump ring to the tip of one of the ears.
Daughter Bunny Pendant
Follow the crochet pattern to complete the Daughter Bunny pendant.
Similar to the Mommy Bunny, after crocheting, press the crochet piece flat with a warm iron and then sew on the pink bow and nose.
To make daughter's ballerina skirt, crochet 12 single crochet stitches around a jump ring.
Cut 6" strips each from ivory and strawberry yarn.
Tie each strip to a single crochet stitch with a Larks Head Knot.
Open the yarn end of the strip of raffia yarn and flatten it with a warm iron to create a fan shape resembling a ballerina skirt.
Cut the ballerina skirt to a 2" length.
Attach the ballerina skirt, a small bell, and a keychain to complete the Daughter Bunny crochet keychain.
Here the mommy and daughter Bunny crochet keychain set.
