🍉 Watermelon Slice Keychain

A sweet little amigurumi keychain you can stitch up in an afternoon — no experience required!

🧶 Beginner Friendly⏱ 1–2 Hours🪝 4.25 mm Hook🆓 Free Pattern

If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying crochet project that’s equal parts cute and clever, this Watermelon Slice Keychain is exactly what you need. The secret? It’s crocheted as a flat circle, then simply folded in half and seamed — no complex shaping, no fuss. Just pure cottagecore summer sweetness dangling from your keys. 🍉

The alternating increase placement in this pattern is intentional — it keeps the tip of your watermelon slice nice and straight rather than curvy, giving you that perfect half-moon shape every time.

Before you begin: This pattern is worked in continuous rounds. No joining, no turning — just grab your stitch marker and go! The increase placement alternates each round on purpose to create a straighter edge when folded.

My Favorite Yarn & Hook Recommendations for Amigurumi 🧶

By Maribel · Maribel Designs 4 U · Tips & Tricks

One of the questions I get asked most often is — “What yarn and hooks do you use?” And honestly it’s one of my favorite things to talk about! The right supplies can make such a difference in how your amigurumi turns out, especially when you’re just starting out.

Before we dive in, a quick note — I’m part of the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. But more importantly, I’m not sponsored by anyone, and I only recommend what I truly use. These are the real supplies sitting in my craft basket — the same ones I reach for every time I pick up my hook. 💕

💡 Quick tip: You don’t need to buy everything at once! Start with one hook and one skein of yarn. The best supplies are the ones you actually have in your hands!
