How about a cute little seal as a keychain?



It’s not hard to crochet at all, because the pattern explains exactly what to do, round by round. All you need are leftover yarn in gray or white, two of your favorite colors for the ball, and, of course, the pattern.

 Fish also make great
keychains. This one is made from leftover yarn. 

Materials: Yarn scraps: approx. 20 g of orange and 20 g of green, plus a small amount of yarn from Gründl Wolle / a small amount
of black yarn for sewing on the eyes, two size 3.5 needles. Also needed: a key ring. Very suitable for beginners, quick and easy to knit.
Have fun making it
