Description
This crochet giraffe keyring and bag charm is a cheerful little character, worked in close stitches of mustard yellow yarn. It has a round head with two chocolate brown horns, soft cupped ears, a white muzzle with stitched brown nostrils, gently raised brows and glossy black eyes, all sitting above a small yellow body with pale pink hands and feet. The charm is made from a blend of 60% acrylic fibres and 40% wool with plastic parts, and it hangs from a metal split ring on a short metal link. The giraffe itself measures about 9.5cm long, 7cm wide and 5.5cm deep, and the whole piece is 13.5cm long from the top of the ring.
We like it on a set of house keys, where its chunky little shape makes the bunch easy to find at the bottom of a bag, but it works just as well as a bag charm. Hook it onto a handbag strap, a backpack zip or the handle of a tote and it adds a bright, friendly face to everyday carrying. The split ring is 2.7cm across, wide enough for a few keys, and the 3cm link lets the giraffe swing free so it hangs neatly rather than bunching against the ring. It is light, so it sits comfortably on a bag without pulling the strap down.
The crochet is close and even, giving the giraffe a firm, rounded shape with a soft, textured feel, while the stitched brows and nostrils keep its expression neat. The ring and link have a bright silver-coloured finish that suits most keys and bag hardware. As with any yarn piece, spot clean it gently with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally, away from direct heat. It makes a cheerful finishing touch tied to a wrapped present, or simply a small treat for your own keys.
