Let’s start making our cute amigurumi keychain 

Let’s start by making the paws of the Amigurumi pattern.

Paws (make 4)

Begin with white yarn.
Round 1: 6 sc into an AMR (6)
Round 2: 6 inc (12)
Round 3: 1 sc each into every st. (12)
Round 4: (2 sc, 1 dec) 3 times (9)
Change color to Orange.
Rounds 5–6: 2 rnds total – 1 sc each into every st. (9)
Stuff the white part only with fiberfil. Press flat at the open edge, and crochet together with 4 sc through both layers. Hide the tails on the inside. Using Black yarn, embroider two horizontal lines each onto every paw in running stitch as shown.

After the amigurumi tiger’s paws are completed, let’s crochet its tail.

TAIL

Begin with white yarn.
Round 1: 6 sc into an AMR (6)
Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) 3 times (9)
Round 3: 1 sc each into every st. (9)
From here on, always alternate Black and Orange as listed.
Round 4: (Orange) 1 sc each into every st. (9)
Round 5: (Black) 1 sc each into every st. (9)
Round 6: (Orange) 1 sc each into every st. (9)
Round 7: (Black) 1 sc each into every st. (9)
Round 8: (Orange) 1 sc each into every st. (9)
Round 9: (Black) 1 sc each into every st. (9)
Rounds 10–12: (Orange) 3 rnds total – 1 sc each into every st. (9)
Lightly stuff with fiberfil. Press flat at the open edge, and crochet together with 4 sc through both layers. Break the working yarn, leaving an end long enough for seaming.

Paws and tail complete. Now let’s crochet the body and head part.

HEAD AND BODY (worked in one piece from the top down)

Work in Orange.
Round 1: 6 sc into an AMR (6)
Round 2: 6 inc (12)
Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) 6 times (18)
Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) 6 times (24)
Round 5: ch2, (3 sc, 1 inc) 3 times, ch2, (3 sc, 1 inc) 3 times (30) – the chains do not count in the overall stitch count, they just serve as base for crocheting the ears into later. They will be easier to find later on if marked with a piece of contrasting color yarn now.

Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) 6 times (36)
Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) 6 times (42)
Rounds 8–13: 6 rnds total – 1 sc each into every st. (42)
In the next round, the front paws will be incorporated. Leave a distance of 11 sts between the paws. For this, pat the paws flat, and, using the ears for orientation, find the middle stitch on the body. From this middle stitch, count off 5 sts each to both sides. These 11 sts will be distance between the front paws. For the pictured sample, this worked out as follows:
Round 14: 4 sc – through both sets of sts from body and paw at the same time, too, 11 sc, 4 sc – through both sets of sts from body and paw at the same time, too, 23 sc (42)

Rounds 15–23: 9 rnds total – 1 sc each into every st. (42)
Insert the safety eyes between Rnds 10 and 11, leaving 8 sts between the eyes. Stuff with fiberfil.
Round 24: (5 sc, 1 dec) 6 times (36)
Round 25: (4 sc, 1 dec) 6 times (30)
Round 26: (3 sc, 1 dec) 6 times (24)
Round 27: (2 sc, 1 dec) 6 times (18)
Round 28: (1 sc, 1 dec) 6 times (12)
Round 29: 6 dec (6)
Stuff with fiberfil. Cinch to pull the remaining opening closed, break the working yarn, and hide the tail on the inside.

EARS

Using new working yarn, insert hook under the ch2-arc of Rnd 5, and crochet the ears as follows: ch1, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, ch1. Break the working yarn, and hide the tail on the inside.

After completing the ears of the amigurumi keychain, let’s crochet the overalls part.

Round 1: 6 sc into an AMR (6)
Round 2: 6 inc (12)
Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) 6 times (18)

Round 16: blo – 1 sc each into every st. (45)
Rounds 17–18: 2 rnds total – 1 sc each into every st. (45)
Break the working yarn, leaving an end long enough for seaming.

Let’s crochet the muzzle of the amigurumi tiger. Our free pattern is almost complete.

MUZZLE

Work in White.
Into an AMR: (ch2, dc5tog, ch2) 2 times.
Break the working yarn, leaving an end long enough for seaming

ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING

1. Place the overalls onto the tiger, and sew them to the body in the next-to-last round of the body.
Join new working yarn in Color 1 in the back to the last round of the overalls, and work 1 rnd of sl-st, crocheting a strap of ch6 each over the two paws.

2. Sew the muzzle to the face between the eyes. Using the same strand of yarn, embroider a line each as shown out the outside of the safety eyes. Embroider nose and eyebrows in black yarn.
3. With black yarn, embroider lines onto the head in running stitch as shown in the photo.

4. Sew on the buttons.
5. Attach the hardware. I have used a metal ring and a hanging loop with cord

In this part, we are making accessories to make our amigurumi toy look more stylish. You can make flower patterns if you want.
