Crochet a very cute Dog Amigurumi keychain with this free crochet pattern. This is a small crochet project that you can make in a few hours. This is a great pattern for left over yarn, because it is so small.
This mini dog keychain makes a great party favor. I love making mini Amigurumi! That is why I have many mini free Amigurumi patterns on this website. With this mini patterns, you have a great gift in few hours.
For the smaller dog, I used sport weight cotton yarn, for the larger version, I used chenille Super Bulky plush yarn.
