🔤 Part 1: The Letter (one tube)
Worked in continuous spiral rounds, with no joining.
| Round | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | MR, 6 sc (6) |
| 2 | inc in each stitch (12) |
| 3–31 | sc in each stitch (12) |
| 32 | dec x6 (6) |
| 33 | dec x3 (3) |
Your tube should measure about 13 cm after round 31. Add or remove a few rounds depending on your tension. 📐
Before closing, bend the wire into a “C” and fold each end over by about 3 mm. Slide it into the tube and stuff firmly as you go. After round 33, fasten off, close the opening and weave in the end. 🪡
📌 Part 2: Shaping the “C”
- Shape: about three quarters of a circle, open on the right
- Height: about 8 cm from top to bottom
- Opening: about 3 cm between the two ends
Bend the curve slowly and evenly so the “C” stays round, with both ends at the same level. Mist the letter lightly with water, pin it flat on your blocking mat and let it dry for 12 hours. 💧
🌼 Part 3: The Flowers
🤍 White daisy (10 petals)
With yellow yarn: MR, 10 sc, sl st to join and fasten off. Attach white yarn to any stitch. In each stitch: ch 4, sl st in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in the next 2 ch, sl st in the next center stitch. This gives you 10 slim petals.
💛 Small yellow flower
In butter yellow: MR, 5 sc, sl st to join. In each stitch: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st. Add a white French knot in the center.
🍃 Leaves (make 2, in sage green)
Ch 8. Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook:
- First side: sl st, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc
- Tip: 3 sc in the last chain
- Second side (along the bottom loops): sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st
🤍 Tiny buds (make 3, in white)
MR, 6 sc. Work one more round of sc (6). Stuff lightly, then dec x3 and close. Embroider a short green stem on each bud. 🌿
🪡 Part 4: Assembly
- Sew the daisy on the left side of the “C”, a little below the middle.
- Sew the small yellow flower just below and to the right of the daisy.
- Add one leaf on the left of the daisy and one below it, then the three buds above the daisy. 🌸
- At the top of the curve, make a small loop with ch 6 and sew it firmly. Attach the gold key ring and swivel clasp. 🔑
Measurements may vary slightly depending on your yarn and tension.
✅ This is a tried and tested pattern!
💡 Tips for a Neat Letter “C”
- Use a stitch marker at the start of each round so you don't lose count.
- Keep your tension tight so the fiberfill doesn't show.
- Bend the curve a little at a time so it stays perfectly round.
- Check that both ends of the “C” are at the same level before blocking.
🎁 Make It Personal
Initial keychains make lovely gifts for birthdays, teachers, bridesmaids and best friends. Make the “C” in someone's favorite color, or create the whole family's initials. 💝
🧼 Care
Because the letter contains wire, don't put it in the washing machine. Spot-clean it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air-dry flat.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make it without wire?
Yes. Stuff the tube firmly and hold the curve with a few hidden stitches. It will be softer, but still lovely.
Is this a good first project?
Yes! The “C” is the easiest letter of the series because it is one single curve.
Is it suitable for small children?
Not for babies or toddlers. It contains wire and small sewn-on parts.
How do I make the daisy petals lie flat?
Pin the daisy on your blocking mat, mist lightly with water and let it dry before sewing.
I hope you enjoy making your own “C”! If you make one, I'd love to see it. 💕
