Beer Mug Crochet Keychain

Materials:

• 2mm crochet hooks,
• White, yellow and light gray sports-weight yarn
• Black and white thread to embroider the face,
• Sewing needle,
• Stuffing material hypoallergenic polyester,
• Scissors

Finished Size

The finished amigurumi Beer Mug crochet keychain pattern measures approximately 2.3″ (6 cm) tall. However, the final size may vary depending on your stitch tension and the materials used.

Gauge

Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, so feel free to use a hook size that matches your chosen yarn. I always recommend using a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches tight and prevent the stuffing from showing through. If needed, adjust your hook size for a neater finish.

However, if you’d like to know the gauge for my chosen yarn and materials, here it is:
With sport-weight yarn and a 2mm crochet hook, the gauge for 5 rounds (increasing to 30 stitches) measures approximately 1.6″ (4.5 cm).

Terms and abbreviations (US terms):

Slip stitch (sl): insert the hook into the stitch and pull up a loop, now, pull it through the loop on your needle.

Single crochet (sc): insert the hook into the stitch, and pull up a loop yarn over the needle, you will have two loops on the hook, yarn over the needle, and pull it through the two loops.

Increase (inc): make two single crochet inside the same stitch.

Decrease (dec): Insert the hook into the front loop only of the next two stitches, yarn under, and pull through, you will have two loops on the hook. Yarn under and pull through both loops on the hook.

• Cut the yarn and fasten it off.
• Join the gray yarn to the remaining front loops of round 18, and crochet 30 single crochets in the front loop only (30 FLsc) to form the bottom of the cup.
• Cut the yarn and fasten it off.

Beer Foam

Introduce the white yarn in the first remaining front loop of the second round of the beer top.

Make 3 chains and join with a slip stitch in the next front loop.

Repeat this process of chaining 3 and joining with a slip stitch throughout all the remaining front loops at the top of the beer.

Once you reach the last round with front loops (round 6), make 8 chains in one of the stitches and join with a slip stitch. In the next stitch, make 10 chains and join with a slip stitch.

This will create the foam slightly sliding down the cup.

Continue making 3 chains and joining with a slip stitch until the end. Cut the yarn and fasten it off, leaving a small tail.

With a tapestry needle and this leftover yarn, secure the longer chains you made to create the sliding foam by sewing them into the cup.

Handle

With gray yarn start,

1 rnd                      6sc in a magic ring

2-12 rnd               6sc

• Cut the yarn and fasten it off.
• Leave a small tail for sewing.

Final Details

1. Sew the handle on the opposite side of the sliding foam, between rounds 8 and 17.
2. With black thread, embroider the eyes in round 11, leaving 4 stitches between them.
3. Embroider a tiny mouth one round below the eyes, about 2 stitches wide.
4. With white thread, embroider one line on the outer side of each eye.
5. Attach the keychain on top of the beer foam.
