# Rainbow Pastel Jellyfish Keychain Free Crochet Pattern
A tiny rainbow jellyfish for your keys! This mini version of the amigurumi jellyfish is quick, cute, and the perfect little gift. It works up in under an hour and uses up the smallest scraps of pastel yarn. I’ve made a whole school of them for party favors.
Same technique as the big jellyfish, just smaller — a tiny dome, a few curly tentacles, and a keyring. Instant charm for your bag or keys.
Tiny pastels on a metal ring — the perfect little gift. Uses up yarn scraps beautifully.

- Size E-4 (3.5 mm) crochet hook
- Small amount of polyester fiberfill

- Tapestry needle
Finished size: Approximately 2 inches tall (not including tentacles).
The Pattern
Mini Dome
With pastel pink, make a magic ring.
Round 1: 6 SC into the ring. (6 SC)
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around. (12 SC)
Change to mint.
Round 3: *SC in the next stitch, 2 SC in the next stitch,* repeat around. (18 SC)

Round 7: SC2tog around. (6 SC) Fasten off, closing the hole.
Mini Tentacles (make 6)
With any pastel color, Ch 15. Work 2 SC in each chain back. Fasten off with a long tail. Make 6 in mixed colors.
Face and Assembly
Embroider two tiny eyes and a smile with dark thread. Sew the tentacles around the bottom of the dome. Attach the keyring to the top of the dome with a sturdy yarn loop (Ch 6, slip stitch to form a loop, sew securely).
Weave in all ends.
Sophie’s Tips
- Embroider the face BEFORE attaching the tentacles — much easier to reach.
- Reinforce the keyring loop with a few extra stitches; keychains get yanked.
- Make them in school colors for the cutest team gifts.
Tiny, mighty, adorable — the perfect little gift!
