Easy Crochet Smiley Face Keychain Pattern | DIY Happy Face Tassel Keyring Tutorial-Welcome to our latest masterclass! Today we are learning how to create this beautiful piece.

Materials Needed

• Worsted weight yarn in yellow (or desired face color)
• Small amount of black worsted weight yarn
• Crochet hook (e.g., 3.5mm or 4.0mm)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Keychain ring with chain attachment
• Small wooden bead (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Start by creating a magic ring and work single crochet (sc) stitches into it to form the first round. Continue increasing stitches in subsequent rounds to establish a flat, circular base for the smiley face.

Step 2

Continue crocheting in rounds, following an increase pattern (e.g., alternating single crochet with increases) to ensure the circle remains perfectly flat and reaches the desired size for your keychain face. Finish off and weave in any loose ends.

Step 3

Using black yarn and a yarn needle, carefully embroider two small oval shapes for the eyes and a curved line for the mouth onto the front of your finished yellow crocheted circle to bring your smiley face to life.

Step 4

Craft a matching yarn tassel by wrapping the main color yarn around a piece of cardboard or your fingers multiple times. Secure the top loop, cut the bottom loops, and trim for an even finish. Optionally, braid a small piece of yarn to attach a wooden bead above the tassel.

Step 5

Assemble your keychain by attaching the crocheted smiley face to one end of the keychain chain. Then, secure the crafted tassel (with or without the bead) to the other end of the chain, or directly to the keychain ring for a complete and cheerful accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What crochet stitches are used for the smiley face?
A: The main smiley face circle typically uses single crochet (sc) stitches worked in the round. The facial features are embroidered using a yarn needle, often with a backstitch or similar method to create clean lines.

Q: Can I make these keychains in different sizes or colors?
A: Absolutely! You can adjust the size by doing more or fewer increase rounds for the circle. As for colors, feel free to use any yarn colors you like for the face and tassel to personalize your keychains.

Q: How can I ensure the embroidered face details are durable?
A: To make the embroidered features durable, ensure you weave in all yarn ends securely on the back of the piece. You can also use a small dab of fabric glue on the knots or ends on the back, though this is usually not necessary if the weaving is done well.
