Free Lilo & Stitch Amigurumi Crochet Keychain/Bag Charm Pattern
I made one to put on my boring grey backpack and I absolutely love it!!
The Lilo and Stitch amigurumi keychain/bag charm measures to be about 2.5 inches tall. Gauge is not important, but depending on how tight you crochet, the size may differ slightly.
To make this, you will need to know very basic colour changing techniques. Planet June has a great video tutorial on it.
The difficulty level of this pattern is Easy and this pattern is written in US crochet terminology.

Gauge
5 Round Circle = 1.25” with a 2.75mm (c) hook when working the x-stitch (yarn under single crochet). If you are working the standard sc, go down a hook size.
Gauge isn’t super important for amigurumi, but I included it just in case you want to check your gauge. Being a little off should not affect the final product too much. You can learn more about how to measure gauge for amigurumi here!
*Note: I worked in continuous rounds (vs. joined rounds) unless otherwise stated.

- Pin the eyes 1 st beside either side of the nose, making sure that the longer part of the triangle is on top. Your sewing tail should be at the bottom. Sew in place.

- Place the inner ear into its corresponding outer ear, wrong sides together. Sew together with the tail from the inner ear piece and weave in the lavender tail.

- Pin the ears to the side of the head, 2 sts beside the eye patch and 2 sts from the bottom of the eye patch. Sew in place.

- Pin the hair onto the centre of the top of the head and sew in place.

- With pliers, open up the jump ring attached to your keychain ring and loop it through the top of stitch’s head. Place the keychain back onto the jump ring and close the ring.

Do u have a video on how to do the head I am new to crochet and I am learning how to read the pattern
Hi Tina,
I don’t have a specific video for the head unfortunately! I will add it to my (very long) to-do list for the future, thank you for the suggestion! But in the meantime, there are definitely some colour change tutorials available on YouTube. Sorry I wasn’t able to help with this, good luck!
Abby
hi would you be able to do a vide for the outer ear im really struggling and i already made the head the hair the nose and the eyes
Hi Nadia,
The video in the post shows you how to work the inner ear. The outer ear is worked in the exact same way, you just work one more row in addition following the pattern.
