Crochet Sunflower Keychain – Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the finished sunflower keychain?
Roughly 6–7 cm in diameter, depending on your yarn and tension.
Can I use a smaller hook or finer yarn?
Yes! Just adjust your tension, and expect a smaller result. A 2.00 mm hook with 4-ply cotton gives a mini version.
Is this project good for beginners?
Absolutely. It’s a great way to practice round shapes, basic stitches, and small assembly.
Can I turn this into a brooch or bag charm?
Of course! Just skip the ring and glue or sew the sunflower onto your chosen accessory.
