This pattern is perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike, offering a delightful blend of ease and satisfying results. Get ready to add a touch of fluffy, woolly goodness to your keys!

Materials You'll Need:

* Worsted weight yarn in white and black (I recommend using a soft, fluffy yarn for a truly lamb-like feel). Approximately 20-30 yards total.

* 3.5mm (E/4) crochet hook (adjust if necessary depending on your yarn choice)

* Small amount of stuffing (polyester fiberfill works well)

* Stitch marker (optional, but helpful)

* Black embroidery floss or yarn for eyes

* Small keychain ring

* Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

* Scissors

Abbreviations:

* ch – chain

* sc – single crochet

* inc – increase (2 single crochet in one stitch)

* dec – decrease (crochet two stitches together)

* sl st – slip stitch

* *-* repeat instructions within the asterisks

Body of the Lamb:

1. With white yarn, make a magic ring. (If unfamiliar with magic rings, there are many excellent tutorials available online.)

2. Round 1: 6 sc into the ring (6 sts)

3. Round 2: *inc* repeat around (12 sts)

4. Round 3: *sc, inc* repeat around (18 sts)

5. Round 4: *sc, sc, inc* repeat around (24 sts)

6. Round 5-7: 24 sc in each round (24 sts)

7. Round 8: *sc, sc, dec* repeat around (18 sts)

8. Round 9: *sc, dec* repeat around (12 sts)

9. Round 10: *dec* repeat around (6 sts)

10. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Stuffing the Lamb:

Gently stuff the lamb body with fiberfill until it's firm but not overly tight. Leave a small opening for sewing.

Legs (Make 4):

1. With white yarn, ch 2.

2. Row 1: 2 sc in the second ch from the hook (2 sts)

3. Row 2-3: 2 sc in each stitch (2 sts)

4. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Ears (Make 2):

1. With white yarn, ch 3.

2. Row 1: 2 sc in the second ch from the hook (2 sts)

3. Row 2: sc in each stitch (2 sts)

4. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Tail:

1. With white yarn, make a small ball of yarn. You can either create this by crocheting a small circle and stuffing it lightly or simply roll a small amount of yarn together to create a little ball.

Assembly:

1. Sew the legs onto the body of the lamb.

2. Sew the ears to the top of the head.

3. Sew the tail to the rear of the lamb.

4. Using black embroidery floss or yarn, embroider two small dots for the eyes.

5. Weave in all loose ends carefully.

6. Attach the keychain ring to the top of the lamb’s head using a small stitch or by carefully securing it to one of the existing stitches.

Tips and Variations:

* For a more textured lamb, try using a different yarn with a fluffy or hairy texture.

* Experiment with different colors for a unique look – perhaps a pastel pink or a playful yellow!

* Add details like a tiny red bow or embroidered facial features for extra cuteness.

* Consider using a smaller hook and finer yarn to create a miniature lamb keychain.

And there you have it! Your adorable crocheted lamb keychain is complete. This little project is perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself. Share your creations with me on social media using #crochetlambkeychain! Happy crocheting!
