Crochet Bubble Flower Keychain || Tunisian Stitch

Crochet Bubble Flower Keychain || Tunisian Stitch

Creating a Crochet Bubble Flower Keychain using the Tunisian stitch is a fun project. I’ll guide you through the steps to make this keychain. For this project, you’ll need:

 

Materials:

• Crochet hook (for Tunisian crochet, use a hook with a cable or a standard hook for small projects)
• Yarn (cotton or acrylic works well)
• Keychain ring
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Stitches/Techniques:

• Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS): The foundation stitch for this project.
• Bubble Stitch: Creates the 3D texture for the flower petals.
• Slip Stitch: For joining and finishing.
• Chain Stitch: For creating loops.

Pattern Breakdown:

Step 1: Crochet the Flower Center (Magic Circle)

1. Make a magic circle.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, make 6 single crochets into the magic circle. Tighten the circle and slip stitch to join (6 stitches).
3. Round 2: Chain 1, 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Slip stitch to join (12 stitches).
4. Fasten off the center. This will be the base for the bubble petals.

Step 2: Tunisian Bubble Petals

1. Attach new yarn color: Join a different yarn color where you’d like the first petal to start.
2. Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) Set-up: Insert hook into a stitch on the circle and pull up a loop. Repeat this around the next 4 stitches (you’ll have 5 loops on your hook).
3. Return Pass: Yarn over, pull through one loop (this creates the “chain” along the edge), then yarn over and pull through two loops at a time until one loop remains.

4 .  Creating the Bubble (Popcorn Stitch):

• • Chain 3, make 5 double crochets into the next stitch.
  • Remove hook from the working loop, insert it into the first double crochet made, then grab the working loop and pull through to form the bubble.
• Tunisian Return Pass: Complete as usual.
• Repeat for 5 or 6 petals depending on how many bubble flowers you want around the circle.
