Introduction

• Overview of the Project:

  • The tutorial teaches how to crochet a small, simple, and adorable four-leaf clover keychain.
  • It is a beginner-friendly project that incorporates basic crochet techniques.

• Supplies Needed:

  • Green yarn (milk cotton yarn is used in the tutorial).
  • A 3.5mm crochet hook, scissors, and a darning needle.

Starting with the Magic Circle

• Creating the Magic Circle:

  • Begin by wrapping the yarn around two fingers twice.
  • Use the crochet hook to create a loop for the base of the magic circle.
  • Instructions emphasize pinching the yarn to maintain control while creating the magic circle.

• Preparing to Work the Stitches:

  • After forming the magic circle, hold the setup firmly and prepare to crochet the stem and leaves of the clover.

Crafting the Stem

• Chaining and Single Crochet:

  • Start by chaining to create the foundation for the stem.
  • Single crochet into the designated chain to start shaping the stem.

• Slip Stitches for the Stem:

  • Create slip stitches along the remaining chains to complete the stem.
  • This gives the stem a neat and uniform look.

Making the Leaves

• Attaching the Leaves:

  • Insert the hook into the magic circle, slip stitch, and chain to create the base of the first leaf.

• Triple Crochets for Leaf Texture:

  • Each leaf consists of three triple crochets worked into the magic circle.
  • Repeat the process of yarn overs, inserting the hook, and pulling through loops to form the texture of the leaf.

• Forming and Closing the Leaf:

  • After the triple crochets, chain to shape the top of the leaf and slip stitch to complete it.
  • Repeat these steps three more times to create a total of four leaves.

• Closer Look at Leaf Formation:

  • The tutorial demonstrates the leaf-making process in detail with a close-up angle.
  • Emphasis is placed on repeating the same steps for all four leaves.

Finishing the Clover

• Securing and Fastening Off:

  • Once the leaves are complete, pull on the yarn tail and trim it to fasten off.

• • Close the magic circle by pulling the tail end tightly to bring the leaves closer together and form the clover.

• Sewing in Loose Ends:

  • Use a darning needle to sew in the yarn ends neatly.
  • Sew in a circular pattern near the magic circle to tighten it further and ensure a polished finish.

• Double Knotting and Trimming:

  • Turn the work over, double knot the yarn to secure, and trim the excess.

Turning the Clover into a Keychain

• Attaching Keychain Components:
  • To make it a keychain, use a jump ring and a keychain hoop.
  • Secure the jump ring in the “V” shape of the clover and attach the keychain hoop.
