Important Pattern Notes
This pattern creates one small, stuffed crochet bag keychain with a rounded miniature handbag shape. The design includes a decorative front flap, a thick arched handle, gold keychain hardware, and a cream daisy with a peach center sewn onto the lower right side of the bag.
The crochet bag is decorative and does not open. Keep the stitches tight enough to prevent the fiberfill from showing. Add stuffing lightly but evenly so the body remains small, softly rounded, and puffy without becoming too firm or bulky.
Crochet the Bag Body
Use Dusty Mauve or Soft Pink yarn. Work in continuous rounds.

Rnd 1: Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 10 ch, 3 sc in last ch, work on the opposite side of the chain, sc in next 9 ch, inc in last ch. (24)

Rnd 17: (Sc in next 3 sts, dec) x 6. (24)
Flatten the top opening, making sure that the side edges are aligned.
Sc through both layers across the top opening to close the bag. (12)
Fasten off and weave in the end.
Shape the Bottom of the Crochet Bag
Use Dusty Mauve or Soft Pink yarn.
- Thread a yarn needle with a long strand of yarn.
- Insert the needle from one lower side corner of the bag to the opposite lower side corner.
- Pull the yarn gently to give the bottom a slightly flatter, more oval shape.
- Make 2–3 hidden shaping stitches along the lower corners.
- Avoid pulling too tightly. The bottom should remain soft and rounded, similar to the bag shown in the photo.
- Knot the yarn securely and hide the remaining tail inside the bag.
Make the Front Flap
Use Dusty Mauve or Soft Pink yarn. Work in rows.
Ch 13.
Row 1: Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 12 ch, ch 1, turn. (12)
Row 2: Sc across, ch 1, turn. (12)
Row 3: Sc across, ch 1, turn. (12)
Row 4: Dec, sc in next 8 sts, dec, ch 1, turn. (10)
Row 5: Sc across. (10)
Do not fasten off yet.
Border: Ch 1, sc evenly around the flap, placing 2 sc in each lower corner to keep the edge softly rounded.
Sl st to the first border sc.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Position the flap over the upper front section of the bag. Sew the top edge and the upper side edges in place, leaving the lower edge slightly raised from the body of the bag.
Crochet the Thick Arched Handle
Use Dusty Mauve or Soft Pink yarn.
Make 2 identical handle cords.
Ch 40.
Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sl st in each ch across. (39)
Fasten off, leaving long tails on both ends.
Lay the 2 cords side by side. Join them with small hidden stitches to create one thicker and more structured handle.
Curve the finished handle into a smooth arch. Sew one end to the upper left side of the bag and the opposite end to the upper right side.
Make several firm stitches at each attachment point. The handle must be secure enough to support the keychain hardware.
Finish the Handle Base Wraps
Use Dusty Mauve or Soft Pink yarn.
- Wrap the yarn 2–3 times around the base of the left handle attachment.
- Secure the yarn with a knot and hide the end inside the bag.
- Repeat the same process around the right handle attachment.
These small wraps give the handle bases a neater finish and help the arched handle remain stable while the bag is hanging.
Crochet the Daisy Petal Base
Use Cream yarn.
Rnd 1: 8 sc in MR. (8)
Do not fasten off.
Petal 1: Sl st in next st, ch 4, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch, sl st into the same center st.
Repeat Petal 1 around until you have 8 petals.
Fasten off and weave in the cream yarn tail.
Make the Flower Center
Use Peach or Coral yarn.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. (6)
Rnd 2: Inc around. (12)
Sl st to the first sc.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Place the peach center over the middle of the cream daisy. Sew it securely in place, passing through the flower center several times.
Sew the Daisy onto the Bag
Position the daisy on the lower right front side of the bag so that it slightly overlaps the front flap area.
Use the peach yarn tail to stitch through the flower center and into the body of the bag. Add one small hidden stitch behind 2–3 petals to help the flower remain flat and secure.
Do not stitch every petal tightly against the bag. Allowing the petal tips to remain slightly raised gives the daisy the soft, dimensional handmade appearance shown in the photo.
Attach the Keychain Hardware
- Open a small gold jump ring.
- Insert the jump ring through the top center of the crochet handle.
- Attach 3 small gold chain links below the gold keyring.
- Connect the lowest chain link to the jump ring attached to the handle.
- Close every ring securely, using pliers if needed.
The finished crochet bag should hang from the center of the handle with the daisy facing forward.
Optional Crocheted Keychain Loop
If you prefer not to use metal chain links, make a crocheted loop with Dusty Mauve or Soft Pink yarn.
Ch 16.
Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sl st in each ch back. (15)
Fasten off, leaving long tails.
Fold the cord in half and sew both ends to the top center of the handle. Attach the gold keyring through the finished crochet loop.
Check the Finished Bag Shape
- The body should look small, rounded, and softly stuffed.
- The bottom should be slightly oval rather than pointed.
- The upper section should appear flatter and narrower than the lower body.
- The front flap should sit over the upper front and curve gently downward.
- The handle should form a thick and tidy arch above the miniature bag.
- The daisy should be positioned on the lower right front side.
- The gold keychain hardware should connect to the top center of the handle.
- The completed keychain should hang straight while maintaining its miniature handbag shape.
Check the Balance of the Bag Charm
Hold the gold keyring and allow the crochet bag to hang freely before finishing the project.
- If the bag tilts forward, add one hidden stitch from the back of the handle to the upper back of the bag.
- If the bag leans to one side, tighten the handle attachment on the opposite side.
- If the flap lifts too far away from the bag, add one tiny hidden stitch near one lower flap corner.
- If the flower pulls the front downward, place a small stabilizing stitch behind the flower center.
Once adjusted, the charm should hang evenly from the gold chain with the daisy facing forward.

Final Tips for Your Crochet Bag Keychain
Before using or gifting the finished keychain, check the handle, flower, jump ring, and chain links carefully. Reinforce any attachment that feels loose, particularly if the charm will be added to a backpack, tote bag, or set of frequently used keys.
This tiny daisy handbag also works well as a handmade gift topper, craft fair item, party favor, or decorative bag charm. Try changing the yarn colors to create seasonal versions, coordinated gift sets, or miniature crochet bags that match different accessories.
