Materials & Tools Needed

Yarn

Use 4-ply yarn, 50 g:

• White: Body, head, ears, arms, and feet

• Pink: Shoulder bag

• Black: Mouth embroidery, using 2 strands

Crochet Hook

• 2.5 mm crochet hook

Eyes

• Two 4 mm black safety eyes or flat-backed black beads

Stuffing

• Fiberfill or polyester stuffing

Other Tools

• Tapestry needle

• Stitch marker

• Scissors

• Hot glue gun

• Keychain ring with jump ring

Finished Size & Customization

The completed Miffy-inspired keychain measures approximately 10–12 cm (about 4 inches) tall.

You can give your bunny a slightly different personality with a few simple changes:

• Replace the pink shoulder bag with pastel blue, yellow, or mint green.

• Add a tiny crochet flower or bow beside one ear.

• Attach a charm hook instead of a traditional keyring to use it as a bag charm, hanging ornament, or small desktop decoration.

Pattern Notes

Before beginning, keep these details in mind:

• The pattern uses US crochet terminology.

• Work the ears, head, body, arms, and legs in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.

• The shoulder bag is worked in joined rounds.

• Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round.

• Work through both loops unless the pattern specifically says FLO or BLO.

• Keep your tension firm enough to prevent stuffing from showing through the stitches.

Abbreviations

• MR: Magic Ring

• ch: Chain

• sc: Single Crochet

• inc: Increase (2 sc in the same stitch)

• dec: Invisible Decrease (sc 2 stitches together)

• sl st: Slip Stitch

• FLO: Front Loop Only

• BLO: Back Loop Only

• st(s): Stitch(es)

• [ ] x N: Repeat instructions inside brackets N times

• (N): Total stitch count at the end of the round

Tips Before You Start

• Keep your tension firm. Tight, even stitches help the stuffed pieces hold their shape and keep fiberfill from showing through small gaps.

• Use invisible decreases. They create a smoother surface, which is especially helpful when shaping the head and body.

• Check the ears before finishing. Keep them close together and parallel so the bunny has a neat, upright silhouette once the head is assembled.
