Crochet Labubu Keychain Tutorial Features
Skill Level: Beginners – Intermediate. The project starts with a magic ring to form the base of the head. Single crochet stitches are used for the head, ears, and for edging. The tutorial also uses slip stitch to join rounds and finish off the work. Chain stitches form the foundation for the body, legs, and hands, which are then worked in double crochet for the twists. Finally, half double crochet is used for the ears, and the crab stitch (or reverse single crochet) provides a decorative edge.
Tutorial Timing: Approximately 22 minutes (perfect for learning the fundamental technique for crocheting the wind spinner, which involves more increases in a flat row of foundation chains. For learning non-stuffed dolls, this tutorial is worth watching.)
Personalization Tips: Choose from pink and light yellow or any color you wish. You can also customize the face as you draw it by yourself.
