Cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch but do not fasten off yet.

Wing (make 2):
 Chain 2, 3 sc in second chain from the hook (or you can also make this with 3 sc into magic loop)
 Work at first only back loops of the stitches. Chain 3, sl st into first sc, [ch 2, sl st into next st] x 2, ch 3.
 Now work on opposite side of the stitches; sl st into next sc, [ch 2, sl st into next sc] x 2.
Assembly:
 Cut two circles from the felt and cut also small slits into those. Put safety eyes through the slits. Put little
bit glue behind the felt circles and insert eyes between rounds 9 and 10.
 Stuff the owl. Sew the hole and with same yarn attach the keychain.
 Next sew the wings to the owl.
 With orange yarn embroider peak.
 Fasten off rest of the yarns.
Now your owl is ready. Easy I’d say :)

Here's what you'll need:

• Size E/4 crochet hook
• Worsted weight yarn of your preferred color
• Your preferred stuffing material
• 9-10mm solid black plastic safety eyes
• Small length of chain
• Split key ring
• Pink fabric marker

 I join my rounds for this project, but you don't have to.

Front/Back: Make 2

Rnd 1: 5sc in magic ring (5sc)

Rnd 2: inc in each sc (10sc)

Rnd 3: [sc, inc] 5 times (15sc)

*3sc, ch 1, turn (3sc)

3sc, ch 1, turn (3sc)

dec across all three sc^ (1sc)*

^To do the decrease, insert the hook into the first sc and pull up a loop. Insert the hook into the next sc and pull up another loop. Then insert the hook into the last sc and pull up another loop so there is a total of four loops, then yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook.

 

 

Fasten off, reattach yarn in the next free sc of your circle.
Repeat ** for each of the remaining points, don't fasten off after the 5th point.
Instead, ch 1 and then sc around the whole star evenly for one row and fasten off.
Attach two eyes to your front side and then sew the front and back together with wrong sides together, using the front loops from either side only.

 

Don't forget to stuff before completely closing up your seam.
After it's all sewn up, sew your bit of chain to the top of the star and add a little "blush" to its cheeks with your fabric marker. And then you're done! Super easy.

For this project you will need:
– scraps of beige and red yarn (or colors of your choice)
– light brown and off white felt
– fiberfill for stuffing
– glue gun, or fabric glue
– yarn needle

The size of the mushroom is approximatively 3 inches, crocheted with a 2.75mm hook (the larger the size of the hook, the larger your mushroom will be).

Abbreviations:
rnd = round
sc = single crochet
inc = increase
dec = decrease
blo = back loops only
flo = front loops only
ch = chain
tr = treble

PATTERN
Stem:
With beige yarn, make a magic ring
Rnd 1: 5 sc in the center of the ring (5)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (10)
Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] 5 times (15)
Rnd 4: blo, sc in each st around (15)
Rnd 5: [5 sc, dec] 2 times, 1 sc (13)
Rnd 6: sc in each st around (13)
Optional: I put a little piece of cardboard at the bottom to keep it flat
Rnd 7: [4 sc, dec] 2 times, 1 sc (11)
Rnd 8 to 9: sc in each st around (11)
Rnd 10: [3 sc, dec] 2 times, 1 sc (9)
rnd 11 to 13: sc in each st around (9)
Rnd 14: ch 3, 2 tr in same st, 3 tr in each st around, join to first tr (26)
Fasten off, and stuff your stem with fiberfill. Cut a circle in a piece of light brown felt, a little smaller than the circumference of your last row. Glue it on your mushroom then resume your work.

 

Cap:
With red yarn, make a magic ring
Rnd 1: 5 sc in the center of the ring (5)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (10)
Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] 5 times (15)
Rnd 4: [2 sc, inc] 5 times (20)
Rnd 5: [3 sc, inc] 5 times (25)
Rnd 6: inc, 24 sc (26)
Rnd 7 to 8: sc in each st around (26)
Rnd 9: flo, sc in each st around (26)
Fasten off, and leave a long tail for sewing. Insert your remaining thread on the other side of the cap to start embroidering. Sew around using the stitches underneath the cap and front loops of the stem. You can add stuffing half way through the sewing, but don’t stuff too much or the bottom of the cap will not be flat. Fasten off, and hide your loose threads by embroidering them within stitches.

** Stuff the watermelon firmly to fill out the shape.
Cut yarn, leaving a tail. Squeeze the round together, aligning the 4 sc to the 4sc. Use the mattress stitch to close. Fasten off and weave in ends.

 

Insert the ball chain clasp through any available stitch on the top of the watermelon. I used a needle to help things along – it takes some effort, but you can always find a small gap to get the chain through. Once the chain is attached, just close the ball chain around a lobster clasp and you’re all set!

On my first keychain, I created a loop at the top of the watermelon to insert the ball chain, but it looked a bit weird, so I adjusted to insert the ball chain straight through the top of the watermelon instead.
