Crochet this adorable little Teddy Bear Keychain crochet pattern for your keys, bag or for someone you love!
I have been enjoying working crochet keychains lately! If you have been following me for a bit you’ll remember the Elizabeth Keychain crochet pattern and the Fluffball Keychain that I posted not too long ago. Today I have this adorable teddy bear.
This little bear measures approximately 4.5 inches tall and it is worked using a soft, plush type yarn called Bernat Future™ Hope by Yarnspirations ®. Each ball of yarn has approximately 333 yards of yarn in it which means that you will be able to make A LOT of bears from one ball! But I hope that once you make the pattern the first time, you will want to make it again and again.
Of course, you may substitute the yarn for any medium/worsted weight yarn you choose. And along with your yarn you will need a 4mm crochet hook.
The Teddy Bear Keychain crochet pattern is worked in multiple pieces that are then sewn together. It is finished off with a little polyester fibrefill, a couple of small safety eyes and a key chain of your choosing.
Remember, items crocheted with safety eyes and small accessories are not safe for use with small children!

ASSEMBLY:
1. Beginning with the ears, place at the top of the head on either side and sew into place using the long tail. I positioned mine on either side at the start of round 2 of the bear head.

3. Position safety eyes in desired position above the bear nose and secure into place.
4. Stuff the bear head with fibrefill.
5. Stuff the bear body with fibrefill and close the open end using the long tail.
6. Attach the completed bear’s head to the body. I sewed in place using round 2 of the bear body as a guide.
7. Add a small amount of fibrefill to the arms and legs. Position them in their desired locations and sew into place using the long tails.
8. Using a little bit of colour A, sew the keychain in place at the top of the head.
