Crochet 3D Flower Circle Keychain with Magnet Closure

Before You Start

This pattern is for a 3D crochet flower with layered petals, finished as a keychain or decorative magnet.
The flower features a circle center, two layers of petals (front and back), a stem/chain, and is assembled with glue and a magnetic closure.
Read through the entire pattern before you begin, especially the assembly instructions.
Practice the magic ring, basic increases, and working in front/back loops.

Pattern Notes

The flower is built with continuous rounds (amigurumi technique) for the center circle.
Layered petals are worked in the front and back loops of the circle, creating a dimensional effect.
The petals use a mix of single, half double, and double crochet stitches for shaping, plus picots for edge detail.
Chain for stem or handle is made separately and attached.
For final assembly, accurate petal positioning is required—read Section “Assembly & Finishing.”
Use glue (hot glue recommended) for petal arrangement and magnet attachment.

How I Made the Crochet Pattern

Step-by-step transcription from a video tutorial, clarifying all instructions and shaping details.
Converted all “spoken tips” into written, repeatable steps.
Adjusted petal placement and counts for symmetry and ease of crafting.
Added special notes on arranging back petals between front petals for true 3D effect.

Skill Level

Intermediate (due to working in loops, shaping petals, assembling 3D structure)

Finished Size

Circle center: 2.5–3 cm diameter
Full flower diameter (with petals): approx. 7–8 cm
Chain/stem: 10–12 cm (or as desired)

Materials

Orange cotton or acrylic yarn (for center), 8ply or similar
Off-white/light yarn for petals (contrasting color recommended)
2.5mm–3mm crochet hook
Yarn needle
Stitch marker
Hot glue gun and sticks (or strong fabric glue)
Magnet closure buttons (2 pieces, optional for magnet version)
Keychain ring/hook
Scissors

Gauge

Gauge not critical—center should be tight and petals shaped.

Stitch Abbreviations

MR = magic ring
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
picot = chain 1, sl st in previous st (makes a small bump)
FL = front loop only
BL = back loop only

Special Stitches

Petal shaping: Combination of single, half double, and double crochet with picots.
Picot: ch 1, sl st in previous st.
Petal placement: Work petals in FL for front, BL for back—use markers if needed.

The Pattern

A) Circle Center

Round 1:

Make a magic ring (MR).
Work 6 sc into magic ring.
Pull ring tight.
Sl st to first sc to close round.

Round 2:

Place marker in first st.
Work 2 sc in each st around (12 sc).
Sl st to first st.
Save

Round 3:

Place marker again. Sc in first st, 2 sc in next st repeat around (18 sc).
Sl st to first st.

Round 4:

Sc in 2 sts, 2 sc in next st repeat around (24 sc).
Sl st to first st.

Round 5:

Sc in 3 sts, 2 sc in next st repeat around (30 sc).
Sl st to first st.

Round 6:

Sc in 4 sts, 2 sc in next st repeat around (36 sc).
Sl st to first st.

Round 7–11:

Continue increasing:
- Round 7: Sc in 5, inc
- Round 8: Sc in 6, inc
- Round 9: Sc in 7, inc
- Round 10: Sc in 8, inc
- Round 11: Sc in 9, inc
- Always Sl st to first st at end; use marker for accuracy.
You should have a flat circular center, approx. 2.5–3 cm in diameter.

B) Front Layer Petals (Off-White Yarn)

Attach light yarn to any FL of center.
Work 6 petals evenly spaced in FL around circle.

For Each Petal:

Sl st in FL, ch 8.
Skip first ch, sc in next 7 ch.
Sl st in next FL of circle.
Save
Repeat: Slip next FL, then sl st, ch 8, skip first, 7 sc, sl st in next FL, etc., until you have 6 petals.
For petal edges, after completing last sc in petal, sl st into next circle FL; continue until all front petals are built.

Front Petal Shaping (Per Petal):

In petal row:
- 1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc (in next 3 sts), 1 hdc, 1 sc, in top st: sc, ch 1 (picot), sc.

After finishing petal:

Continue same shaping for each petal, working only in FL.

You should see six evenly spaced petals formed in FL. Each petal is long, gently curved, and decorative.

C) Back Layer Petals (Off-White Yarn)

Attach light yarn to any BL of center, place petals between the front petals for a 3D layered look.

For Each Petal:

Sl st in BL, ch 10.
Skip first ch, sc in next 9 ch.
Sl st in next BL.
Repeat, spacing petals so that back layer petals occur between front petals.
Shape each petal as follows:
- Start at base: sc, hdc, 5 dc (in next 5 sts—petal longer), hdc, sc.
- In tip: sc, ch 1 (picot), sc.
  Save

The back petals are larger and overlap between the front petals to create dimension. If needed, you can adjust placement for symmetry.

D) Quick Center Mini Flower (for Magnet/Embellishment)

Round 1:

MR, 6 sc, pull tight, sl st to first sc.
Fasten off orange, attach off-white.

For Each Petal:

[ch 2, dc in next st, ch 2, sl st in same st] repeat around for 6 petals.

E) Stem/Chain

Attach orange yarn (or other color) to circle base, ch 60 (or as desired for keychain).
Fasten off, tie two knots at end. Trim yarn tails.

Assembly & Finishing

Hide all yarn tails using a yarn needle.
Arrange back petals so they sit between front petals (for full layered effect).
Save
Use hot glue to carefully attach petals, starting with back pairs, then placing front petals centered above them.
Glue mini flower center if desired, to cover magnet or add a flourish.
Attach chain or stem to the flower base, glue or sew for security.
If using, glue magnet closures as shown in the video:
- Attach one half to flower back, one to a matching backing, let dry fully.
Attach keychain ring/hook as needed.
Let all glue dry and check security before use.
Save

Solution of Problem

Petals not positioned correctly: Rearrange petals, use glue to fix pairs so back petals always sit in middle of front petals.
Magnet closure not secure: Use extra glue, allow longer drying, sew a backing if necessary.
Chain detaching: Secure with knot or small stitch for durability.
