10 Free Crochet Reindeer Keychain Patterns

Free patterns for Christmas gifts & bags

Start with keychain-first designs

Two patterns designed as keychains from the start — proportions and hardware already worked out.

No-sew minis are fastest

Head, body and muzzle in one piece — just weave in ends and add hardware. The Mini Noso reindeer is only 6.5 cm tall.

Turn any mini into a keychain

Thread a split ring or lobster clasp between the antlers. Use metal, not yarn — yarn loops wear through.

Pick the right yarn & hook

Smooth DK or worsted cotton or acrylic. Go down half a hook size so stuffing won't show through.

Make a batch, not one-offs

One pattern, one yarn palette, repeated — consistent sizing looks far more professional for gifts or craft fairs.
