Crochet Key Ring Sushi

Have you ever seen a crochet key ring that looks like a delicious plate of sushi? Well, let me tell you, they are absolutely adorable! These tiny sushi key rings are handcrafted with vibrant yarn colors that resemble various sushi types like nigiri, maki, and sashimi. The attention to detail on each piece is remarkable – from the intricate crochet stitches mimicking the rice texture to the tiny felt seaweed wraps and faux fish pieces. They make the perfect accessory for your keys, adding a touch of cuteness and quirkiness to your everyday items. Whether you're a sushi lover or just appreciate unique handmade crafts, these crochet key ring sushi pieces are sure to bring a smile to your face every time you reach for your keys.

You will need:

• a crochet hook
• pink/salmon colour, green, light yellow, white and black yarn
• carabiner keyring (it’s optional, just make the total thing look fancier)
• fiberfill
• scissors and a sewing needle

Important to note: you can use a hook of any size (depending on desired size of the key ring), but it should match to the yarn size and that all yarns have the same thickness! Crochet the key ring tightly and try to weave in all the ends carefully – the key ring will be always in use and it should be durable!

Abbreviations:

• ch – chain
• st – stitch
• sl st – slip stitch
• sc – single crochet
• inc – 2 sc in the same st
• X 6 – repeat 6 times
• at the end of every round total number of stitches is shown in brackets

Instructions:

Front part:
Work with pink, yellow and green yarn. Start with pink yarn.
Round 1: start making magic ring, crochet 2 sc in it, change to yellow yarn, crochet 2 sc in the same magic ring, change to green yarn, make two 2 sc (6 )

Round 2: change back to the pink yarn, inc X 2 (take care that you crochet in the pink st), change to the yellow yarn, inc X 2, change to the green yarn, inc X 2 (12)

Round 3: change to white yarn (sc in next st, inc) X 6 (18)
Round 4: (sc in next 2 st, inc) X 6 (24)
Round 5: change to black yarn (sc in next 3 st, inc) X 6 (30)
Cut all the yarns leaving a tail (black yarn) for sewing.

Follow the instructions again to crochet the second side of the sushi, but use green yarn after pink, and only then yellow!

Side of the sushi:

Make 30 + 1 ch, turn to the other direction
Round 1: sc in all st, 1 ch
Round 2: sc in all st

Fasten off and cut the yarn.

Now you should think of the way you want to attach the sushi to the key. I will make a chain loop to attach the carabiner keyring. Crochet 20 ch, insert in the carabiner and pull both ends of the chain through the side part of the sushi. Connect the ends on the other side and do that really good!

Sew the front parts to the side (take care that the colours on both sides match!) aaaaand … the Sushi key ring is finished!!!
