Switch Things Up

I love how versatile this tiny keychain pattern is for customization, and I often change yarn colors to match seasons or holidays.

I sometimes use a thicker yarn and larger hook to create a chunky version that looks adorable as a bag charm.

I also make mini versions using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to produce miniature keyrings perfect for jewelry projects.

I add embroidered latte art with different shapes—hearts, swirls, or leaves—to give each cup a unique personality.

I occasionally attach small beads or a tiny button to the handle for extra sparkle and visual interest.

I dream up tiny outfits like a felt coffee sleeve to slide over the cup for themed gift sets.

I will sometimes swap the keychain for a lobster clasp to make a removable bag charm that can be clipped on and off easily.

I recommend experimenting with safety eyes or small felt additions if you want a face on your cup, but be mindful of safety for small children.

I often group several different colored cups on a keyring to make a mini collection that looks great as a gift set.

I encourage you to try matching the cup color to the coffee color for a tonal look, or contrasting colors for bolder designs.

I suggest practicing the embroidery on a scrap first to get the tension right before working on the coffee top.

I enjoy gifting these with a small tag and a handwritten message, making them instant favorites at markets and craft fairs.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not marking the last stitch of each round leads to lost stitch counts and uneven shaping; place a stitch marker at the last stitch of each round before proceeding. ✗ Overstuffing the coffee or cup causes the stuffing to show through and distort the shape; stuff gradually and only about three quarters for the coffee and gently for the cup. ✗ Forgetting to flip the 20cm end to the front of the coffee piece will prevent attaching the keychain later; flip the end before starting the next row as instructed. ✗ Skipping the mattress stitch attachment allows the coffee to sit loose in the rim; use mattress stitch to securely attach the coffee level to the base of the rim. ✗ Pulling yarn too tightly on small embroidery details makes the latte art pucker; use loose, gentle stitches for the ch st embroidery and adjust placement before securing.

Assembly Instructions

  • Using the 30cm end from the cup, weave through the rim on the inside of the cup and come out just below the line left by the sl st row, then secure the end with a couple of small stitches.
  • Place the coffee insert into the top of the cup level with the base of the rim and use mattress stitch to attach the coffee to the rim, stuffing the coffee approximately three quarters of the way round before finishing.
  • Weave the remaining ends through the cup and secure with a couple of small stitches, then cut flush and tuck ends inside to hide them neatly.
  • Using the 20cm end from the centre of the coffee, thread the keychain onto a needle and take 4 or 5 small back stitches to secure the keychain to the cup, then secure and weave the end in through the cup before cutting flush.
  • Embroider the latte art on top of the coffee using white oddment and embroidery chain stitch, checking placement before securing and weaving all ends through the cup when finished.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise and mark the last stitch of each row with a stitch marker before proceeding to the next round.
  • 💡Do not overstuff the coffee or cup; overstuffing can cause the stuffing to show through and distort the shape of your keychain.
  • 💡Flip the 20cm end to the front of the coffee piece before starting the next row so you have the tail available to attach the keychain at the end.
