Crochet Judy Bunny & Fox Nick Keychain Amigurumi Pattern

I was craving something festive and cute, so I tried the Crochet Judy Bunny & Fox Nick keychain duo, and it turned out even better than I hoped. A mini bunny and fox as keychains is basically pocket-sized crochet joy. I sat up with a hot coffee, a chaotic little pile of yarn scraps, and the intention to make just one. But the moment the bunny ears started to form, I knew I was making both. They’re a pair. They belong together. Also, I’m a sucker for cute duos, and my yarn self-control is questionable.

At first, shaping the faces had me nervous. My stitches looked a bit wonky, and I had that dramatic thought: This is going to look like a bewildered marshmallow. But I kept going, added a touch of stuffing, placed the features, and it turned out so sweet I literally smiled at it, might smile back. The details make these shine in the ears, the tiny muzzle, fox snout, and those color accents. I even remade the first ear because it was slightly bigger than the other, and it bugged me like a crooked picture frame. Totally worth it. They’re quick, cute, and ridiculously satisfying. If you’re itching for a fast, happy make, you’ll love this one.

Materials & Tools For Crochet Judy Bunny & Fox Nick

• Stuffing: Polyfill or leftover yarn scrap. Small projects don’t need much.

• Eyes: Safety eyes or felt circles embroidered eyes for r baby-safe version.

Tip: Stick to theme colors for the classic look, or go pastel for a cute “kawaii duo” vibe.

Crochet Pattern Details

This Crochet Judy Bunny & Fox Nick Keychain style project is built with simple amigurumi shapes, which makes it perfect for quick keychains. You’ll typically start each character with a small, rounded head worked in continuous rounds, magic ring, increases to build a smooth ball, a few even rounds for height, then decreases to close. Don’t worry if the first rounds look a little bumpy. Amigurumi always starts like a tiny blob. It becomes cute later, I promise.

For keychains, tight stitches are everything. You want the fabric dense so the stuffing doesn’t peek through, and the shape stays firm. I usually stuff lightly but evenly, just enough so it feels squishy without turning into a hard little rock. As you close the head, shape it gently with your fingers so it stays round and neat.

The bunny ears are usually long ovals made in rows or small rounds, then stitched to the top of the head. Try to place them evenly. This is the part where the personality shows up. One ear slightly higher can make your bunny look like it’s permanently surprised, cute, but maybe not the plan. The fox’s ears are smaller and more triangular, and the snout/muzzle detail gives it that classic fox look. A tiny nose embroidery and a small mouth line can instantly bring it to life.

Add color accents for the cheeks, inner ears, or muzzle area. These little pieces are where the magic is. They make the characters recognizable without needing a million complicated steps.

Pro Tip: If your first few rounds look uneven, don’t panic; it evens out beautifully once stuffed!
Pro Tip: Use a stitch marker and count your rounds. Keychain-sized pieces get confusing fast.
And yes. I actually had to redo my first ear twice. Totally worth it.

Customization Crochet Judy Bunny & Fox Nick Ideas

• Try different color combos, pastel bunny, caramel fox, or even neon for fun.

• Add tiny bows, scarves, or mini hats

• Turn them into a magnet, charm, or mini ornament

• Mix cotton and velvet yarn for texture. Velvet ears are ridiculously cute

• Ada had a little blush cheeks with pink thread

• Make a winter set with tiny scarves. I’m obsessed with this idea

Wouldn’t this look adorable as a little gift topper? Like tied onto a present ribbon as a mini surprise? I’d keep the topper and pretend it came with the gift.

Finishing & Assembly

• Stuff evenly and close with small, tight stitches

• Sew ears and snouts firmly, so they hold shape

• Secure eyes safely embroider for toddlers/baby gifts

• Weave in ends neatly, keychains get handled a lot

• Attach a keyring or lobster clasp at the top with a strong thread/yarn

Gift Tip: Wrap them in tissue paper or place them in a mini gift box. It looks extra thoughtful and handmade.

Bonus: Care & Maintenance

I like to hand-wash mine gently in cool water and let it air-dry. It keeps the colors bright and the stitches soft. For keychains, spot-cleaning usually works just fine.

• Avoid hot water it can warp the shape

• Let it air dry fully before using

• If you’re displaying it, place it near your desk or yarn shelf; it adds instant charm.
