10 Free Crochet Hedgehog Keychain Patterns

Woodland cuties for your keys & bags

Start with the bobble-spike keychain

All Things Heart and Home's pattern is written as a keychain from the ground up — bobble stitches for the spiky back, with keyring placement built in.

No-sew mini for quick gifts

Hestia the Hedgehog by Green Fox Farms works up in one flow — from the last stitch straight to attaching the keyring. A perfect first make.

Downsize any amigurumi to keychain size

Use a lighter yarn with a hook 1-2 sizes smaller. A 20 cm chunky hedgehog shrinks to about 8-10 cm in worsted — keychain territory.

Attach the keyring in 2 minutes

Thread a jump ring through the top-center stitches, then add a split ring or lobster clasp. Sew a felt circle inside for heavier makes.

Best yarn & hook for spikes

Worsted-weight acrylic with a 3.5-4 mm hook gives crisp spikes. Smooth cotton in cream shows the embroidered face cleanly.
