I’ve always loved the idea of taking crochet with me wherever I go. It’s not just about the projects themselves, but about infusing a little creativity into everyday life. I’ve found that something as simple as a keychain can be the perfect canvas for both beauty and function. That’s why I’m excited to share this little bag pattern with you, a charming crochet keychain that keeps your essentials close—like a button, some coins, or any small trinkets you hold dear.
This Keychain Little Bag holds a special place in my collection, combining quick-to-learn techniques with a result that’s as practical as it is pretty. Whether you’re an experienced crocheter or just beginning, this pattern is a delightful way to keep your keys organized while showing off your handiwork.
The Perfect Blend of Color and Craft: Bringing Your Little Bag to Life
What makes this project especially fun is the color switch! Working first with green and then transitioning to a soft pink adds a pop of personality that feels fresh and playful. This two-toned design not only highlights your stitches but also gives the finished piece a vibrant look. You’ll also love how quickly it comes together—perfect for an afternoon of relaxing crochet.
The bag is crocheted in rounds, starting with a magical green circle that gradually grows, then swapping to pink for the main body. The key details, like the button closure and key ring attachment, turn this simple design into a fully functional accessory.
Materials You’ll Need to Crochet Your Keychain Little Bag
To begin this project, make sure you have the following materials on hand:
- Fine yarn (US: Sport / UK: 200m~50g) in green and pink (e.g., Zeeman Supersoft)
- Crochet hook size B (US) / 12 (UK) / 2.5mm (EU)
- Scissors
- Sewing needle
- Stitch marker
- 1 small button
- 1 key ring with a chain
Starting the Project: A Few Things to Consider
Before diving into the stitches, I suggest taking a moment to practice the magic ring if it’s new to you, as it’s the base for this bag. Once you’ve got that down, the rest will flow easily—especially with the simplicity of single crochet stitches throughout the rounds. Don’t forget to use your stitch marker to keep track of rounds, particularly when increasing stitches, as it helps maintain the perfect shape.

Extra Tips to Make Your Project Shine
- Weaving in Ends: When switching between colors, make sure to weave in the yarn ends neatly so they won’t be visible through the small bag. This will give your finished piece a clean, polished look.
- Button Placement: Sewing the button on securely is key for both functionality and aesthetic. Ensure it aligns perfectly with the bag’s loop to keep it closed snugly.
- Key Ring Attachment: Use sturdy thread to sew on the key ring so that it can withstand daily use. It’s important to reinforce this area since the keychain will be handling a lot of movement and weight.
Styling Your Keychain Bag: A Personal Touch
The beauty of this Keychain Little Bag lies in its versatility. While this pattern uses green and pink, feel free to get creative with your own color combinations! You might even want to add beads, embroidery, or small embellishments to personalize it further. This bag also makes a thoughtful gift for friends, especially when paired with a hand-written note or other small treasures tucked inside.
Finishing Up: Admire Your Work!
Completing this Keychain Little Bag is more than just finishing a project—it’s about creating something that will be with you in small moments throughout your day. Every time you pull out your keys, you’ll be reminded of the care and attention you put into crafting something special. I hope this project brings you as much joy as it did for me!
