Christmas Mochi Keychain (Reindeer Version)
With this tutorial, you can crochet the Christmas Mochi Reindeer keychain. The unique feature of this pattern is the use of a technique called “staggered stitches” to shape the Mochi’s main body.
The tutor highly recommends this method to ensure the final piece is a perfectly round ball, rather than having the common, slightly flat hexagon shape.

The tutor has provided this list of materials and tools for crocheting the mochi reindeer. Gather all for similar results:
