Whether new to cro­chet or an expe­ri­enced crafter, this easy project is ide­al for quick gifts or per­son­al use. Using basic cro­chet stitch­es and worsted-weight yarn, you can whip up a styl­ish key chain in no time.

This post con­tains affil­i­ate links. If you pur­chase through these links, I may earn a mod­est com­mis­sion at no extra cost. Please review my pri­va­cy pol­i­cy for more details.

To start, gath­er your mate­ri­als: a H cro­chet hook, worsted weight yarn in your favorite col­or, a key ring or swiv­el lob­ster clasp, and a tapes­try nee­dle for the fin­ish­ing touch­es. Begin with a foun­da­tion chain and work sin­gle cro­chet stitch­es to cre­ate a stur­dy base. Add a dec­o­ra­tive touch with bead or star stitch­es to per­son­al­ize your key­chain. Repeat rows until you achieve the desired length, then attach the key ring or clasp using a secure dou­ble knot.

How to Make a Cro­chet Cord with Nat­ur­al Macrame Yarn

Get­ting Start­ed

1. **Cre­ate a Slip Knot**: Begin by cre­at­ing a slip knot and plac­ing it onto your cro­chet hook.
2. **Chain Three**: Yarn over and cre­ate three chains by pulling the yarn through each time.

 Work­ing the Cord

1. **Insert Hook**: Insert your hook into the sec­ond chain from the hook and draw up a loop.
2. **Draw Up Loops**: Insert your hook again into the last chain and draw up anoth­er loop.
3. **Drop Loops**: You should now have three loops on your hook. Drop the last two loops while hold­ing onto them to avoid los­ing them.
4. **Yarn Over**: Yarn over and pull through the first loop on your hook.
5. **Rein­sert Hook**: Insert your hook back into the loop you dropped ear­li­er, yarn over, and pull through.
6. **Com­plete the Loop**: Insert your hook into the last loop, yarn over, and pull through. This com­pletes your first row of the cord.

 Repeat­ing the Pat­tern

1. **Repeat the Process**: Con­tin­ue the pat­tern by repeat­ing the steps above.
2. **Drop and Hold Loops**: Drop the last two loops each time, hold­ing onto them to keep your place.
3. **Yarn Over and Pull Through**: Yarn over and pull through each loop sequen­tial­ly.

Fin­ish­ing the Cord

1. **Final Stitch­es**: Once you’ve reached your desired length, yarn over and pull through all three loops on your hook.
2. **Chain One**: Yarn over once more to cre­ate a chain one.
3. **Cut and Weave**: Cut your yarn and weave in the ends to secure your cord.

Add your key­chain around the cord. Yarn over and pull through the loops. Sew the ends togeth­er. Place the key­chain by the sewn ends. On the top next to the key­chain, leave a tail and loop it, then Wrap your yarn around the top around 8 times, but leave the loop hang­ing out. Take the tail and pull through the loop tight­ly. Cut the ends to secure it. (Best shown in the video)

Cro­chet Zig Zag Wrist­let 

H hook, Medi­um Worsted yarn, To begin, place a slip knot on your hook—chain four.

Next, yarn over and pull the yarn through for your chains, cre­at­ing a ring. Chain four more. Insert your hook into the first chain and cre­ate a slip stitch to form a small cir­cle.

Now, chain two. Yarn over, insert your hook into the cen­ter of the ring, and draw up a loop. Repeat this five times in total. Yarn over, insert your hook, draw up a loop again—repeat this sequence until you have 10 loops on your hook.

Yarn over and pull through all the loops except for the last one. Yarn over again and pull through the remain­ing two loops on your hook. Chain two to com­plete this seg­ment.

Turn your work over to the side where your chains are exposed. In that space, repeat the pat­tern: yarn over, insert your hook, draw up a loop five times, yarn over, pull through all loops except the last one, yarn over, pull through the remain­ing two loops, and chain two.

Con­tin­ue work­ing this pat­tern back and forth to cre­ate the zigzag effect. Each row begins with chain­ing two, then repeat­ing the sequence of yarn overs and loops across the row.

At the end of your project, fin­ish with a chain one, cut your yarn, and weave in the ends. The link for a print­able ver­sion of this pat­tern is pro­vid­ed below in the descrip­tion.

If you want to expand your cro­chet reper­toire, wrist­let pat­terns offer a gate­way to more intri­cate designs. Exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent yarn weights, such as worsted-weight cot­ton for dura­bil­i­ty or thin­ner yarns for a del­i­cate touch. Craft stores often offer a vari­ety of yarns to suit any project, and you can find inspi­ra­tion on Pin­ter­est boards or in cro­chet com­mu­ni­ties on social media plat­forms. Don’t hes­i­tate to mix and match col­ors and tex­tures to cre­ate a key­chain that match­es your style per­fect­ly.

Once you’ve mas­tered the basics, share your cre­ations with fel­low crafters in cro­chet groups or on your favorite social media chan­nels. Include affil­i­ate links to your favorite yarns or tools, which can earn you a small com­mis­sion from sales. Con­sid­er mak­ing video tuto­ri­als on Tik­Tok or YouTube to inspire oth­ers and show­case your skills step by step. Whether you’re mak­ing key fobs, bag charms, or even lug­gage tags, cro­chet projects like these are a great way to express your cre­ativ­i­ty and make thought­ful gifts for loved ones.
