Taiyaki Fish Cake Keychain Crochet Pattern
Ever heard of Taiyaki? This delightful fish-shaped cake, often filled with sweet red bean paste, is a beloved treat in Japan. Now, imagine turning this charming pastry into a cute, handcrafted keychain.
Taiyaki Fish Cake Keychain Crochet Pattern creates a cute and kawaii amigurumi keychain of a delicious Taiyaki fish cake! Opt for a lightweight, acrylic yarn for ease of use and durability. Soft cotton yarn can also be a good choice if you prefer a more textured look.
A 3.5mm crochet hook is ideal for this project, but feel free to adjust based on your yarn choice and tension. Before we dive into the pattern, let’s gather all the necessary materials.
Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn in light brown and desired filling color (red bean paste or custard)
- Crochet hook (size depends on yarn weight, check yarn label for recommendation)
- Keychain attachment (optional)
- Tapestry needle
- Stuffing
- Black embroidery floss (optional, for details)
To create your Taiyaki keychain, you’ll need to be familiar with a few basic crochet stitches:
- Single crochet (sc)
- Increase (inc) – typically single crochet increase (sc2 in one stitch)
- Decrease (dec) – typically single crochet decrease (sc two stitches together)
- Magic ring (mr)
- Slip stitch (sl st)
Notes:
- You can adjust the size of the Taiyaki by using a different yarn weight and crochet hook size.
- This pattern uses the continuous crochet method, meaning you won’t fasten off after each round.
