Free Amigurumi Seal Keychain Pattern
I have made a crochet seal before, but this amigurumi seal keychain is on a rather different scale. A much smaller one! It fits neatly onto my house keys, and slides into my pocket like the slippery creature itself does into a pool.
This pattern took less than two hours to design, so a keen crocheter could have themselves a whole gang of seal pals in no time at all.

Attaching the Keychain
Finally you can attach your keychain blank to the top of your seal. I’d aim for a stitch around the largest section of the body. You can either loop the ring through, or sew it on like I have in the same color of yarn.
