Materials and Preparation
To make this adorable crochet Oreo keychain, you will need:
- 2.5 mm crochet hook: Essential for creating the exact stitch size for this miniature design.
- Two colors of 4-ply cotton yarn:
- Dark brown for the biscuit part.
- Pink or white for the cream (choose pink for a strawberry flavor look or white for vanilla).
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in the ends and finishing touches.
- Key ring: To attach the finished Oreo to your keys or bag.
- Hot glue gun: For securely assembling the parts.
- Scissors: For cutting yarn.
Important Notes:
- Preheat your glue gun for about 10 to 15 minutes before assembly.
- The slip-stitch rounds give the Oreo a more defined, polished edge.
Step-by-Step Pattern
Creating the Biscuit Layers (make 2):
- Magic Circle and First Round:
- Start with a magic circle and chain 2 (these chains do not count as a stitch).
- Inside the magic circle, crochet 12 half double crochets (hdc).
- Pull the tail of the magic circle to close it and slip stitch into the first stitch to complete the round.
- Second Round:
- Chain 2 (again, these do not count as stitches).
- Work 2 hdc into each stitch around for a total of 24 hdc.
- Slip stitch to the first stitch to finish the round.
- Third Round:
- Chain 2.
- Work the pattern: 1 hdc into the first stitch, then 2 hdc into the next stitch.
- Continue this sequence around for a total of 36 hdc.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch.
- Fourth Round – Edging:
- Chain 1, and then alternating between 1 slip stitch into the next stitch, followed by chain 1.
- Continue this border sequence to the end of the round.
- Finish by cutting the yarn, pulling through, and securing with the tapestry needle to form a seamless edge.
Creating the Cream Layer:
- Magic Circle and First Round:
- Using pink or white yarn, start with a magic circle and chain 2.
- Crochet 11 hdc in the circle.
- Close the circle and join with a slip stitch.
- Second Round:
- Chain 2.
- Work 2 hdc in each stitch for a total of 22 hdc.
- Slip stitch to complete the round.
- Third Round:
- Chain 1, and for this round, work single crochets.
- 1 single crochet (sc) into the next stitch, followed by 2 sc into the following stitch.
- Continue this sequence for a total of 33 sc.
- Finish the round with a slip stitch.
- Fourth Round – Edging:
- Work 1 slip stitch in each stitch all the way around to add a thick border to the cream layer.
- Secure the end with a slip stitch, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.
Assembling the Keychain:
- Finalize the Oreo:
- Insert the cream layer between the two biscuit layers, with the right sides (outer sides) facing outwards.
- If using a key ring, attach it to the edge of the cream layer before gluing.
- Using Hot Glue:
- Preheat the glue gun for 10–15 minutes.
- Spread the glue evenly on the wrong side of one biscuit piece, place the cream on top, add glue to the cream layer, and complete with the second biscuit layer.
- Press each layer firmly and allow to dry for at least 15 minutes.
Congratulations! You have your own crochet Oreo keychain. Whether choosing vanilla or strawberry, this fun and quick project is a sweet addition to your crochet collection.
