Crochet Spider-Man Keychain Amigurumi Pattern

This crochet Spider-Man keychain is a small superhero made from a red head, a simple body, and four tiny limbs. White eyes and black embroidered web lines finish the mask, so the character is easy to recognise even at this size. It also works as a bag charm or a handmade gift because you can attach a keyring or a swivel clasp to the head.

First, you will crochet the head and body. Next, you will make the limbs and the eyes. Finally, you will embroider the web lines and sew everything together.

Crochet Spider-Man Keychain: Step-by-Step Instructions

Work in continuous rounds, and mark the first stitch of each round. As a result, it is easy to keep your count.

Step 1: Start the Crochet Spider-Man Keychain With the Head

Begin with red yarn.

1. R1: First, work 6 sc into a magic ring. (6 sts)
2. R2: Then work inc in every stitch around. (12 sts)
3. R3: Next, work [1 sc, inc] 6 times. (18 sts)
4. R4: After that, work [2 sc, inc] 6 times. (24 sts)
5. R5–R8: Sc in each stitch around for 4 rounds. (24 sts)
6. R9: Now work [2 sc, dec] 6 times. (18 sts)
7. R10: Then work [1 sc, dec] 6 times. (12 sts)
8. Stuffing: Before you close the head, stuff it firmly with fiberfill.
9. R11: Finally, work 6 dec to close. (6 sts) Fasten off, and weave in the ends.

Step 2: Crochet the Body

Use blue yarn, although red also works, depending on the costume style you want.

1. R1: First, work 6 sc in a magic ring. (6 sts)
2. R2: Then work inc in every stitch around. (12 sts)
3. R3: Next, work [1 sc, inc] 6 times. (18 sts)
4. R4–R6: Sc in each stitch around. (18 sts)
5. R7: After that, work [1 sc, dec] 6 times. (12 sts)
6. Finally, fasten off, and leave a long tail for sewing. Stuff the body lightly.

Step 3: Make the Arms and Legs (Make 4)

Choose red or blue yarn.

1. R1: First, work 6 sc in a magic ring. (6 sts)
2. R2–R4: Then work sc in each stitch around. (6 sts)
3. Fasten off, and leave a tail for sewing. You can stuff the limbs lightly or leave them unstuffed. After that, attach them to the lower body.

Step 4: Add the Eyes and the Web Lines

1. Eyes (make 2): With white yarn, crochet small oval shapes. Otherwise, embroider the slanted white eyes with white thread, or cut them from felt. Then outline them with black thread for a classic comic-book look.
2. Web lines: Next, take black thread or embroidery floss, and embroider the web lines carefully across the red head.

Step 5: Assemble the Crochet Spider-Man Keychain

1. First, sew the head securely to the top of the body.
2. Next, attach the arms and legs to the sides and base of the body.
3. Finally, attach a keyring or a swivel clasp to the top of the head, so your mini superhero becomes a keychain.

Limb Placement Tips

Small limbs can change the whole pose, so a little care pays off.

• Pin before you sew. First, hold each arm and leg in place, and then check the body from the front.
• Match the pairs. Also, put both arms at the same height, because uneven arms stand out on a small body.
• Decide on stuffing first. Stuffed limbs look firmer, while unstuffed ones sit flatter against the body.
• Sew with the tails. That way, the stitches blend into the yarn colour.

Crochet Spider-Man Keychain FAQ

Is the crochet Spider-Man keychain beginner-friendly?

The video calls it beginner-friendly. It uses the magic ring, single crochet, increases, and decreases. Still, the small pieces and the embroidery take some patience.

Can I change the costume colours?

Yes, since the body can be blue or red. So you can also choose red or blue for the limbs, depending on the look you want.

Which yarn works best?

The pattern suggests amigurumi cotton or sport/light DK yarn. Also, a small hook keeps the stitches tight, so the stuffing does not show.

Can I use felt for the eyes?

Yes, felt is one of the options for the eyes. However, crocheted or embroidered eyes are better for a toy meant for a small child.

How many limbs do I need to make?

You make four, two arms and two legs. Then you sew them to the body.
