Pattern Overview & Making Process
The lavender keychain begins by creating the green stem base with a chain foundation. Single crochets are worked across the stem section, while slip stitches are added to the remaining chains to form the tapered end and create a firm structure. Three individual stems are made using this same technique.
The lavender blossoms are then added using purple or pink yarn at the top of each stem. Each flower cluster is created with a chain and six double crochets worked into the same stitch, then shaped by pulling the working loop through a previous stitch to form a rounded popcorn-style petal. This process is repeated along the stem until all eleven blossom clusters are completed.
To finish the keychain, a long chain cord is created and passed through the keychain ring. The three lavender stems are arranged together, and the cord is wrapped around the base to secure the bundle. The completed piece forms a small lavender flower keychain with a neat hanging loop and a handmade floral design.
Pattern Construction & Key Features
1. Stem Base:
- Construction:
Worked in a single chain foundation.
Alternates between single crochets (SC) and slip stitches (SLST) for added strength and to create a firm, sturdy structure for the stem.
2. Textured Petals:
- Technique:
Petals are created using popcorn-like stitch clusters:- Chain 2, then make 6 double crochets (DC) into the same space.
- Pull the working loop through the 3rd stitch to form a rounded, textured “popcorn” petal.
3. Modular Assembly:
- Process:
Crochet three individual lavender stems separately.
Combine the stems to create a lush, full lavender bundle.
4. Hanging Cord:
- Method:
Use a long chain loop of about 65 chains.
Pass the chain through a keychain ring to hold and secure the assembled lavender bundle together.
Step-by-step crochet pattern for making a Lavender Keychain
Stem Base (Green Yarn)
- Start the Chain:
- Create a slipknot and chain 32.
- Single Crochet Section:
- Skip the first 2 chains.
- Make 1 single crochet in the next 18 chains (for a total of 18 single crochets).
- Taper with Slip Stitches:
- For the remaining 12 chains, make 1 slip stitch in each chain (creating the tapered end of the stem).
- Fasten Off:
- Cut the green yarn and secure it.
Lavender Blossoms (Purple or Pink Yarn)
- Attach the Blossom Yarn:
- At the top of the stem (where the 2 skipped chains are), attach your flower-colored yarn.
- Petal Cluster Formation:
- For the first cluster:
- Chain 2.
- Work 6 double crochets into the same stitch.
- Pull out the working loop to make it long, insert the hook into the 3rd stitch back, catch the working loop, and pull it downward to secure the petal shape.
- For subsequent clusters (Clusters 2–11):
- Move to the next stitch on the stem base.
- Repeat: Chain 2, make 6 double crochets, and secure the petal loop.
- Continue until you have a total of 11 clusters.
- For the first cluster:
- Fasten Off:
- Secure the yarn and weave in the ends.
- Repeat:
- Make 3 lavender stems in total by repeating this section.
Keychain Cord & Assembly
- Create the Cord:
- Thread your yarn through a keychain ring.
- Make a slipknot and chain 65.
- Fasten off and secure the starting/ending yarn tails.
- Assemble the Keychain:
- Bundle the 3 lavender stems together neatly.
- Use the cord loop to bind the stems at their base:
- Thread the cord through the keychain ring, wrap around the bases of the stems, and tie securely.
- Optional: Use hot glue to hold the bundle in place.
Helpful Tips & Troubleshooting
- Tight Color Transitions: When switching from green to purple, knot the yarn tails securely behind the stem.
- Petal Tension: Ensure petals are snug by pulling the working loop tightly when shaping the clusters.
- Yarn Fraying: Poly Cherry yarn may fray; carefully singe the edges with a lighter to seal them.
Creative Modifications
- Different Color Themes: Experiment with pastel shades like lilac, cream, or soft yellow.
- Alternative Uses: This piece can also serve as a bookmark tail, bag charm, or miniature vase bouquet.
- Add More Stems: Create a fuller bouquet by crocheting additional lavender stems.
