If you know anything about me, you know that part doesn’t come naturally; I get burned out pretty quickly. BUT! I’ve actually been consistent for almost a year now, so... round of applause for me, please!! 🙌
I have a lot of plans and projects coming up this month. I’m working on two new patterns for the blog, and I’m in the process of turning all of them into printable PDFs for my Etsy. I’ve also started making YouTube tutorials, like this one right here! (Please check it out 💕) Either the Kirby or the eyeglasses holder will be next, stay tuned!
Anyway, I know you’re really here for the patterns. So today I give you... ta ta daaaa! My favorite bag charm!
I make this one all the time as little gifts or acts of kindness. I love adding them to goodie bags with snacks and a positive note. It’s quick, cute, and market-friendly! Works with any yarn or fiber, and it’s perfect for scrap yarn too.
I recently got a crochet kit off TikTok (I’ll link it below!), and all the fun colors inspired me to make both a video part 1 Part 2 and a written tutorial. So grab your hook, your favorite snack or beverage, and let’s jump in!

Stuff the center before working the last petal. You can skip the next step and attach a keychain or ring instead
After completing the last petal, ch 30 and sl st into the same st to form the keychain loop.
Assembly
secure the sc chain or keychain by weaving the end and using knots to keep everything in place ( check this video to see how to do that)
