Hello, fellow crochet fans! I’m excited to introduce you to a quick and delightful project: the Daisy Keychain. This project is the perfect mix of cute and practical, giving you a lovely handmade flower you can carry with you anywhere. This beginner-friendly pattern requires only a few materials and is simple enough to finish in one sitting.
Using soft, cheerful colors and easy stitches, this daisy keychain will add a personal touch to your keys or bag. Let’s dive into the pattern details so you can make your own!
Bringing Floral Charm to Your Keyring
The Daisy Keychain is a fun way to bring a bit of springtime with you everywhere. Featuring a bright yellow center surrounded by delicate white petals, this daisy design captures the charm of fresh flowers.
The pattern uses basic double crochet and treble crochet stitches, giving the petals their classic shape. With just a few stitches, you’ll create a lovely 3D effect that makes the daisy stand out.
No-Sew Option for Easy Assembly
One of the great features of this pattern is its no-sew option, making assembly quick and straightforward. Instead of stitching pieces together separately, you can crochet through both sides, joining as you go. This makes the project ideal for beginners and anyone looking for a fast, hassle-free finish.
Materials
Here’s everything you’ll need to create your Daisy Keychain:
- 4mm Crochet Hook – for making a dense fabric that holds its shape
- Yarn Needle – for weaving in ends
- Aran/Worsted Weight (size 4) Yarn:
- Yellow: approx. 10 yards for the flower center
- White: approx. 30 yards for the petals
- Polyfil – for a soft, plump center
- Scissors
Size: Approximately 8 cm (3 inches) in diameter.
Getting Started: Tips and Tricks
The Daisy Keychain starts with a magic circle for a tight center, so practice this technique if it’s new to you. Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds, and crochet tightly to avoid gaps in the fabric, especially around the center. If you prefer a larger or smaller daisy, experiment with different hook and yarn sizes to get the look you like.

Additional Tips for Finishing
- Creating Even Petals: In Round 3, make sure to work only in the front loop, which leaves loops on the back side. This setup allows for the easy, seamless connection between both sides of the keychain.
- Stuffing with Polyfil: Add a small amount of stuffing toward the end of the final round for a plush, rounded look. This will give your daisy a fuller appearance without being too bulky.
- Attaching the Keyring: If your keyring attachment doesn’t fit directly onto the daisy, try adding a simple chain loop to the top. This loop will give you more flexibility and create a sturdy connection point.
Adding a Personal Touch
Feel free to customize your daisy keychain with different colors or even add a little sparkle yarn to the petals. You could also make a few in various colors for a bouquet effect. This pattern is perfect for experimenting with shades and textures to create a unique accessory.
