1. Front Face (Beige / Cream Section) The front face is usually worked in continuous rounds of single crochets starting from a magic ring to form a rounded circle: Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6) Rnd 2: Inc in every stitch \rightarrow 6 inc (12) Rnd 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) repeat \rightarrow 6 times (18) Rnd 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) repeat \rightarrow 6 times (24) Rnd 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) repeat \rightarrow 6 times (30) Rnd 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) repeat \rightarrow 6 times (36) Rnd 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) repeat \rightarrow 6 times (42) Rnd 8 - End: Work 1 sc in each stitch around (42 sc) until completed. Fasten off. (Make an identical second piece for the back; the back piece can be solid pink or cream). Note: Before or right after finishing the front piece, embroider the cute eyelash eyes and smiling mouth with black thread. Add a light pink blush to the cheeks. 2. Flower Petals (Pink Border) Once the front and back circular pieces are ready, the flower petals (ruffled/padded petals) are added around the edge using pink yarn. This can be done either while joining the two circles together or around the perimeter of a single piece: Petal Construction: Attach the pink yarn to the edge of the base circle. For each petal, chain a specific number of stitches and work double crochets into them (e.g., sl st into a stitch, chain 3-4, fill with double crochets to give a voluminous petal shape, and anchor it down with a sl st in the next stitch). Repeat this evenly all the way around to frame the flower. Alternative Method: Place the front and back circles back-to-back, add a tiny bit of stuffing between them, and as you single crochet them together around the edge, work the pink petals directly into the outer loops using crochet techniques (e.g., working 4-5 dc into the same space to create ruffled petals).
3. Lilac Bow Construction Inside a Magic Ring: For the left wing of the bow: Chain 3, work 3 treble/double crochets, chain 3, and secure to the ring with a sl st. For the right wing: Chain 3, 3 double crochets, chain 3, and secure with a sl st. Pull the magic ring tight to close. Wrap the starting tail tightly around the center of the bow a few times to shape the bowtie, and secure/knot it firmly at the back. 4. Assembly and Finishing Details Completing the Body: Place the cream front face and the matching back piece wrong sides facing each other. Stuffing: As you join and close the edges together using pink yarn and single crochets, insert a small amount of fiberfill before sealing it completely (it shouldn't be overstuffed; it should keep a flat, neat keychain profile). Attaching the Bow: Sew the prepared lilac bow firmly onto the upper part of the flower face (near the top edge). Attaching the Keychain: Securely attach the metal keychain ring and chain to the stitches right behind the bow or at the top peak of the flower petals.
