Crochet Cartoon Decorative Bag – Key Holder for Electric Car Keys

🧶 Materials Needed:

Yarn (Cotton or Acrylic):
- Main color for the body (e.g., green, red, or blue)
- Contrasting color for the mouth interior (e.g., white or pink)
- Black and white yarn for eyes and teeth
Crochet Hook: Size 2.5mm–4mm (based on yarn weight)
Stitch Marker (to keep track of rounds)
Tapestry Needle (for sewing pieces together)
Keyring or Lobster Clasp (for attaching to bag or belt loop)
Zipper (optional) – 6–8 cm if you prefer a zipped mouth

🧵 Crochet Stitches Used:

CH – Chain
SL ST – Slip Stitch
SC – Single Crochet
INC – Increase (2 SC in one stitch)
DEC – Decrease (single crochet 2 together)
Magic Ring (MR)

🐲 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Body (Main Pouch)

Using main color:

MR, 6 SC into ring (6)
INC in each stitch (12)
(SC, INC) x 6 (18)
(2 SC, INC) x 6 (24)
(3 SC, INC) x 6 (30)
Continue increasing until the diameter matches desired pouch size (~7–8 cm across).
Work even in SC (no increases) to build up the sides of the pouch (about 10–12 rounds).

This forms a rounded base and tubular body.

2. Mouth Opening

You can either:

Leave the top open for a pouch style, OR
Insert a zipper for the monster’s mouth.

Zipper Method:

Flatten the piece and crochet or sew in a small zipper where the mouth should be.
Or crochet a separate flap in mouth color (oval shape) and attach it with a zipper.

3. Teeth (White Yarn)

CH 8, SC across, turn
Use triangle or zigzag patterns with decreases to simulate pointed teeth.
Sew onto the mouth edge.

4. Eyes (Make 2)

Using white yarn:

MR, 6 SC (6)
INC around (12)
Fasten off.

Using black yarn:

MR, 4 SC, fasten off, sew to white part as pupil.

Attach both eyes to the top of the pouch. You can make them googly or stitched flat.

5. Arms and Legs (Optional)

CH 8, SL ST back for a noodle-like limb
Or crochet small spheres or cylinders

Sew on either side to make it look cartoonish.

6. Attach Keyring or Clasp

Use a strand of yarn or crochet a loop at the top of the bag
Insert keyring or clasp securely
