Sweet Crochet Heart-Bear Keychain Pattern for Quick Fun
The pattern begins with creating the bear’s body and head using basic crochet stitches, forming a rounded shape that provides a soft, plush appearance.
The ears and limbs are then worked separately and sewn onto the main body, adding dimension and character. The heart is crocheted separately and attached to the front, giving it a tender focal point. Embellishments such as small embroidered details or shiny eyes enhance its adorable appeal. Attaching a keyring or clip completes the piece, transforming it into a portable token of affection. 
The process is straightforward: starting with a magic ring for the body, working in rounds to shape the bear, then creating the heart and assembling all parts. Its compact size makes it perfect for gifting, accessorizing, or simply brightening your day with a handmade touch.
Combining cuteness with craftsmanship, this keychain exemplifies how small projects can carry big sentimental value and charm.

Tutor's Suggestions

Eye Placement: If using glue-on eyes, apply glue to secure them after stuffing. If using safety eyes, insert them before the final stuffing and decreasing rounds.
Step-by-Step Details
This is a comprehensive amigurumi tutorial to create a small, stuffed bear head with ears and a heart accessory, intended to be used as a keychain.

Tip
To achieve the best amigurumi shape, ensure you stuff the head firmly and evenly before the final decrease rounds. Under-stuffing will result in a floppy shape, while over-stuffing may distort the stitches. Also, when stitching the heart onto the body, use a tapestry needle and only pick up a small amount of the body's yarn to create an invisible seam.
