Crochet cat paw keychain

Here is a quick and easy crochet project for all cat lovers around the world.

Materials and tools you will need

1. Crochet hook – size 2 mm
2. Yarn: Alize Silky Effect, colors of your choice, I used cream white and pink.
3. A handful of silicone fiber toy stuffing
4. A keychain ring and chain
5. Sewing needle and a tapestry needle

Crochet cat paw

Start by making two circles in white yarn. Crochet in continuous rounds.

1. 6 sc in mr (6)
2. 6 inc2sc (12)
3. [ 1 sc, 1 inc2sc ] x 6 (18)
4. [ 2 sc, 1 inc2sc ] x 6 (24)
5. [ 3 sc, 1 inc2sc ] x 6 (30)
6. [ 4 sc, 1 inc2sc ] x 6 (36)
7. [ 5 sc, 1 inc2sc ] x 6 (42)

When the first circle is done, fasten off and WIT.

For the second circle don’t fasten off just yet; we will need the working yarn later to join the two circles.

Toe beans

Now prepare the tow beans. They are simply four small individual circles in pink yarn.

To crochet them, make 6 sc in a mr.

Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Use tapestry needle to join the first and the last stitch if the round.

Cat paw pad

To crochet the cat paw pad, again, work in continuous rounds.

1. 6 sc in mr (6)
2. 6 inc2sc (12)
3. 1 sc, ( 1 hdc, 4 dc ) in the same st, 2 sc, ( 4 dc, 1 hdc ) in the same st, 1 sc

Fasten off. Leave a longer tail for sewing.

Assembling

Take the first white circle and arrange the toe beans and the paw pad on its surface.

Use a tapestry needle to sew the toes and the pad to the crochet cat paw surface.

When this is done, take both paw sides (white circles), hold then wrong sides together, and align their edges.

Take your crochet hook and join the two circles together by making a sc in every stitch of the last round of a circle. As you do so, make sure to insert your hook through both layers/circles.

Just before you finish joining the paw sides, stop and insert silicone fiber stuffing. Stuff it firmly and then finish joining the sides.

Fasten off, but still leave tail long enough to sew keychain to the back of the cat paw.

Finally, take your chain and sew it to the back of the paw, near the top paw edge.
