To make a simple crochet keychain and pincushion, you will need:

Worsted weight yarn in your desired color(s)

Crochet hook (size H/5mm)

Keychain ring

Polyfill stuffing

Sewing needle

Crochet Keychain:

Make a slip knot and chain 6 stitches.

Single crochet into the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. (5 sc)

Chain 1 and turn. Single crochet into each stitch across. (5 sc)

Repeat step 3 until the keychain reaches your desired length. (I recommend around 3-4 inches.)

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Attach the keychain ring to one end of the keychain.

Crochet Pincushion:

Make a magic ring and single crochet 6 stitches into the ring. (6 sc)

Pull the tail to close the ring.

Chain 1 and single crochet twice into each stitch around. (12 sc)

Single crochet once into the first stitch, then twice into the second stitch. Repeat this pattern around. (18 sc)

Single crochet once into each of the first two stitches, then twice into the third stitch. Repeat this pattern around. (24 sc)

Single crochet once into each stitch around for the next few rounds until the pincushion is about 1 inch tall.

Stuff the pincushion with polyfill stuffing.

Single crochet the next two stitches together, then single crochet once into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around. (18 sc)

Single crochet the next stitch and the following stitch together, then single crochet once into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around. (12 sc)

Single crochet the next two stitches together around until only a small opening remains.

Stuff the pincushion with more polyfill stuffing, then single crochet the opening closed.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

To turn your crochet pincushion into a keychain, simply attach a keychain ring to the top of the pincushion using a sewing needle and some yarn.
