2. INC around (8)
   3–5. SC around (8)
   Switch to white yarn:
   6–7. SC around (8), fasten off and sew to back of body.

Eyes:

• Use 6 mm safety eyes between rounds 5–6 of the head, or embroider with black thread.

Finishing:

• Sew all pieces together securely.
• Attach a keyring to the top of the head.

The final step is attaching the keychain hardware. This part might seem straightforward, but it’s important to do it securely. I usually stitch a small loop at the top of the head or body, reinforcing it several times before attaching the ring. A well-secured loop ensures that the keychain will last, even with regular use.

What I love most about making an amigurumi fox keychain is how quickly it comes together while still feeling like a complete, polished project. It’s perfect for using up small amounts of yarn, and it makes a thoughtful handmade gift. Each one has its own personality, shaped by tiny variations in stitching and expression. Even after making several, I still find joy in watching each fox come to life.

In the end, this project is a reminder that crochet doesn’t have to be large or complicated to be meaningful. A small fox keychain can carry just as much charm and care as a larger piece. It’s a little companion, a bit of handmade art, and a reflection of the time and attention you’ve put into every stitch.
