Crochet Sandwich Keychain Pattern For Foodies

What could be a better gift for a food lover than a sandwich keychain? This fun crochet project shows you how to crochet a cute piece of sandwich bread. The cutest part of this bread is its blushing face and warm smile that makes everyone’s day. My suggestion is to make one simple version and one with a bow to create a lovely couple’s gift!

• R1: Start in 2nd ch from hook, 11 sc (11).
• R2–8: ch 1, turn, 11 sc (11).
• R9: ch 1, turn, 1 inc, 9 sc, 1 inc (13).

Blush (Pink – Make 2)

• R1: MR, 6 sc.
• sl st to close. Fasten off.

Detailed Assembly

• Joining the Slices:
  • Place the two bread slices together with the “wrong” sides facing each other (neat sides outward).
  • Thread the long brown yarn tail into a needle.
  • Sew the edges together by passing the needle through the inner loops (back loops) of both slices.
  • Continue sewing around three sides.
• Stuffing:
  • Insert a small amount of fiberfill before closing the final side.
  • Constraint: Do not overstuff. The sandwich must remain relatively flat (about 1.5 cm thick) to maintain its authentic shape; overstuffing will make it look like a ball rather than a slice of bread.
• The Face:
  • Eyes: Using black thread, count 2 rows down from the top “dome” of the bread. Position the eyes approximately 3–4 stitches apart. Create small vertical or circular stitches for each eye.
  • Mouth: Locate the row directly below the eyes (approximately Row 4). Insert the needle to create a wide “V” shape. Secure the center of the “V” with a tiny anchor stitch to keep the smile curved.

Save It

• Bow & Blush Placement:
  • Bow: Position the yellow bow on the top-right “dome” corner. Wrap the yarn tail around the center of the bow and through the bread slice simultaneously to secure it.
  • Blush: Apply a small dot of hot glue (or sew) to the pink circles. Place them directly underneath and slightly to the outside of the eyes.
• Finishing:
  • Weave all remaining yarn tails into the center of the sandwich to hide them.
