Here is a step-by-step crochet tutorial to make the cute snowman keychain in your picture. I’ll break it into body (spiral), head, hat, scarf, face, then assembly.
⛄ FULL DETAILED CROCHET TUTORIAL — Snowman Keychain
🧵 MATERIALS
- White acrylic yarn (4-ply)
- Colored yarn (for hat & scarf): yellow / blue / red
- Orange yarn (for nose)
- Black yarn or black beads (eyes)
- Hook 3.0mm or 3.5mm
- Fiber stuffing (very little)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Keyring
🧊 PART 1 — MAKE THE SPIRAL SNOWMAN BODY
This spiral is simple but important for the cute look.
1. Start the chain
- Chain 25
(If you want a longer body, chain 30–35)
2. Make the spiral
- In the 2nd chain from hook, do:
- 3 DOUBLE CROCHETS (3 DC) in the same stitch
- Repeat 3 DC in each chain until the end.
👉 As you add 3 DCs into each chain, the work will automatically twist into a spiral tube.
3. Finish
- Cut yarn
- Leave a long tail for sewing later
- Set it aside
✔ Result: A thick WHITE spiral like the snowman body in the picture.
⛄ PART 2 — CROCHET THE SNOWMAN HEAD
We crochet a small ball.
Round-by-round instructions
Use white yarn.
R1: Magic ring, 6 SC (6)
R2: INC × 6 (12)
R3: (SC, INC) × 6 (18)
R4: SC all around (18)
R5: SC all around (18)
R6: (SC, DEC) × 6 (12)
→ Add a small amount of stuffing
R7: DEC × 6 (6)
Pull tight, close the hole, and weave the tail.
✔ Result: A small round head.
🎩 PART 3 — MAKE THE SNOWMAN HAT
Use your chosen color (yellow, blue, or red).
Hat
R1: Magic ring, 6 SC (6)
R2: INC × 6 (12)
R3: (SC, INC) × 6 (18)
R4: SC around (18)
R5: SC around (18)
R6: (SC, DEC) × 6 (12)
Tip:
The hat should look like a tiny beanie that sits on top of the ball.
Optional brim:
If you want a folded look:
- Front loop only → SC around one extra round.
🎀 PART 4 — MAKE A SMALL POM-POM
- Wrap yarn around 2 fingers about 10–12 times
- Slide off carefully
- Tie the center very tight
- Cut the loops
- Trim into a small round pom-pom
- Sew onto top of hat
✔ This creates the adorable fluffy ball like in the picture.
🧣 PART 5 — MAKE THE SCARF
Use the same hat color.
Option A: simple scarf (as in picture)
- Chain 35
- Slip stitch (SL ST) in every chain
- Fasten off
Option B: thicker scarf
- Chain 40
- Row 1: SC in each chain
- Fasten off
✔ Wrap it around the neck and sew lightly.
😀 PART 6 — EMBROIDER THE FACE
Eyes
Use:
- Two black beads
or - Embroider small knots
Place them two stitches apart.
Nose (carrot)
- Use small piece of orange yarn
- Insert needle through center
- Make 2–3 little stitches to form a triangle pointing sideways
Mouth
- Use black yarn
- Make a curved line (3–4 small stitches)
✔ Your snowman gets a cute smiling face.
🧵 PART 7 — ASSEMBLY
1. Attach the head to the body
- Use the long tail from the body spiral
- Sew the spiral tightly to the bottom of the head (centered)
2. Add the scarf
- Wrap around the “neck”
- Sew the ends so it doesn’t move
3. Put the hat on
- Place hat on top of head
- Stitch around inside edge so it doesn’t fall off
- Sew pom-pom on top
4. Add the keyring
- Insert keyring through the hat (top)
- Reinforce with stitches if needed
