10 Free Crochet Penguin Keychain Patterns

Cute & quick winter charms

Penguins are made for keychains. Rounded body, white belly, two wings, orange beak — most finish in a single evening.

Start with Crochetic's easy penguin — beginner-friendly, black/white/yellow worsted yarn, every piece spelled out.

Want personality? Punqa's scarf-wearing penguin: 9–11 cm, bright orange belly, chunky feet, red scarf. Beginner-intermediate.

For holiday gifts: the pink Christmas-hat penguin — a natural stocking stuffer, with a full round-by-round pattern.

Beyond classic black? The blue penguin is a sweet alternative — body, flippers and belly worked separately, then sewn on.

What you'll need: DK or worsted yarn, a 2–3 mm hook, 5–9 mm safety eyes, and a split ring or lobster clasp.
