Nose
- Crochet in magic circle: 1 SC, 1 HDC, 3 DC, 3 HDC, 3 DC, 1 HDC, 1 SC, fasten off the circle (13) Fasten and cut the thread, join with the thread tail beginning and end of your work.
- Carefully secure the thread using the needle.
Heart
First, you will make 2 cups, which will be joined together to make the heart.
- Rnd 1: 6 SC in MC (6)
- Rnd 2: (INC, 1 SC) X 3 times (9)
- Rnd 3: (INC, 2 SC) X 3 times (12)
- Rnd 4: (INC, 3 SC) X 3 times (15)
Cut the thread, and leave a 15-20 cm long tail. Similarly, crochet the second cup, but do not cut the thread this time. With the loop from the second cup on the hook, let's join the details to make the heart: - Rnd 5: starting with the stitch next to the last one where you cut the thread, crochet 15 SC along the first cup. Now crochet 15 SC along the second cup (30)
Please note that the beginning of the row is at the heart's center. And if there is a hole in the place where two cups were joined, Sew it at this stage using the thread from the first cup. - Rnd6:30 SC (30)
- Rnd 7: 7 SC, DEC, 13 SC, DEC, 6 SC (28)
- Rnd 8: 7 SC, DEC, 12 SC, DEC, 5 SC (26)

- Rnd 10: 5 SC, 2 DEC, 8 SC, 2 DEC, 3 SC (20)
- Rnd 11: 4 SC, 2 DEC, 6 SC, 2 DEC, 2 SC (16)
- Rnd 12: 3 SC, 2 DEC, 4 SC, 2 DEC, 1 SC (12)
Stuff your heart at this point. I recommend stuffing the heart as tight as possible. When you finish stuffing, insert the stopper bead located at the cord's tail into the opening and continue to crochet: - Rnd 13: 2 SC, 2 DEC, 2 SC, 2 DEC (8)
- Rnd 14: 4 DEC (4)
Fasten off, close the hole. Cut the thread, and hide the yarn tail inside the detail.
Ears
- Make two ears.
- Into MC: 3 CH, 8 DC.
- Pull MC tight, but do not form the circle. Fasten and cut the thread, and hide the yarn tail inside the detail.
Assembling
To complete the bear, follow these steps: sew the nose onto the main part of the bear, add specks to the muzzle by embroidering them, and then sew the muzzle onto the main part. Make sure to sew the muzzle with the right side out. After that, attach the ears and eyes to the bear and embroider the brows using black thread. Place the muzzle between rows 13 and 26. For a neater result, it is recommended to split the thread and use two out of four threads instead of sewing with a thick thread.
Please fix the cord on the ring, following the instructions in the photo. Then, feed the cord through the magic circle opening on the main item. Place a spare bead onto the cord to act as a stopper that will prevent the knot from slipping out when the item is in use. Measure the comfortable length of the cord and tie a knot. Finally, cut the tails of the cord.
Your key cover is ready!
