What are The Different Types of Crochet Keychains?
The main difference between amigurumi keychains and regular crochet keychains is the style of crochet used to create them
Amigurumi Keychains
Amigurumi keychains are a type of crochet keychain that are typically small, stuffed animals or characters made using a specific style of crochet. They are typically three-dimensional, and use a technique of crocheting in the round to create a seamless and compact shape.
Regular Crochet Keychains
Regular crochet keychains, on the other hand, can be any design or shape that you choose. They are often made using basic crochet stitches such as single crochet or double crochet, and can be flat or three-dimensional. They may also include decorative elements like beads or tassels.
Below you will find a mix of both styles of crochet keychains to pick from, so you can try both and see which type of keychain is for you!
