Are you a BTS fan who adores the quirky and lovable BT21 characters? Today, I'm excited to share a step-by-step crochet pattern to create your very own Tata keychain! Tata is the heart-shaped alien who is always curious and full of love—making him a perfect companion for your keys or bag. Whether you're looking for a fun weekend project or a cute handmade gift for a fellow ARMY, this crochet pattern has got you covered. So grab your yarn and let’s get started!
Materials Needed:
- Alize Cotton Gold yarn (Red, Yellow)
- 2.5mm crochet hook
- 6mm safety eyes
- Yarn needle
- Embroidery thread (Black, White)
- Embroidery needle
- Scissors
- Stuffing
- Keychain ring
Abbreviations:
- SC - Single Crochet
- INC – Increase
- DEC – Decrease
- STS – Stitches
- SLST – Slip Stitch
Tip: Use a stitch marker on the first stitch of each round to help you keep track!
First Bump (Red Yarn):
- Round 1: 6 SC in a magic ring = (6 STS)
- Round 2: 6 INC = (12 STS)
- Round 3: (SC, INC) x 6 = (18 STS)
- Round 4-5: SC in each ST = (18 STS), 2 rows
Cut the yarn and set aside.
Second Bump (Red Yarn):
- Round 1: 6 SC in a magic ring = (6 STS)
- Round 2: 6 INC = (12 STS)
- Round 3: (SC, INC) x 6 = (18 STS)
- Round 4: (SC, SC, INC) x 6 = (24 STS)
- Round 5-6: SC in each ST = (24 STS), 2 rows
- Round 7: Join the two bumps—insert your hook into the stitch next to where you cut the yarn on the first bump. SC all around (18 + 24) = (42 STS)
Now they are connected, forming the head!
- Round 8: SC in each ST = (42 STS)
- Round 9: (SC, SC, SC, SC, SC, DEC) x 6 = (36 STS)
- Round 10: SC all around = (36 STS)
- Round 11: (SC, SC, SC, SC, DEC) x 6 = (30 STS)
- Round 12: SC all around = (30 STS)
- Round 13: (SC, SC, SC, DEC) x 6 = (24 STS)
- Round 14: SC all around = (24 STS)
- Round 15: (SC, SC, DEC) x 6 = (18 STS)
Start stuffing the head.
- Round 16: SC all around = (18 STS)
- Round 17: (SC, DEC) x 6 = (12 STS)
Insert the safety eyes between Rounds 12-13, spaced about 3 stitches apart (count from the second bump, which is the bigger one).
- Round 18: SC all around = (12 STS)
Add more stuffing as needed.
- Round 19: 6 DEC = (6 STS)
Weave in the tails and close the hole securely.
Leave a long tail for sewing. Weave in the tail through the front loops of the last 6 stitches, pull tight, and secure it. Use the tail to close any gaps between the bumps.
Mouth (Yellow Yarn):
- Chain 3, SC into the 2nd chain from hook, SC into the next chain.
- Cut the yarn, and tie to secure the ends.
Sew the mouth just below the eyes using black thread.
Final Assembly:
- Sew the Mouth and Face: Position the mouth and secure it. Use black embroidery thread to add the brows and facial features, giving Tata his distinctive, curious expression.
- Attach the Keychain Ring: Securely sew or clip the ring at the top of Tata's head.
And just like that, your charming Tata keychain is ready to add a splash of color and personality to your everyday essentials!
