Crochet Beer Mug, Boba Tea, and Frappuccino Keychains

Here’s a small project that will bring big smiles! Whether you enjoy a frothy beer, a boba tea, or a cold coffee frappuccino with whipped cream, there’s a keychain design for everyone’s favorite beverage!

This is a great stash buster project! I grabbed a lot of random scrap yarns for these keychains!

Materials
– Worsted Weight Yarn. I recommend Red Heart Super Saver or Bernat Super Value. I used a combination of both. Specific colors are listed below. 
Shop all the yarn HERE on Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook and a size F Crochet Hook
– Polyfil Fiber Stuffing
– Size 15mm safety eyes for the Boba Balls. This felt easier and quicker to me than crocheting and stitching on little circles. I used 9 safety eyes. Feel free to use whatever suits you best!
– Key rings. I got mine HERE on Amazon (affiliate link).

Finished Size: Approximately 5 x 3 inches

Note: All designs are worked from the bottom up.

Colors used in this project:
Beer Mug: Red Heart Super Saver in Dusty Grey, Cornmeal, and White
Boba Tea: Bernat Super Value in Soft Fern, Red Heart Super Saver in White, Black for the straw.

Photo tutorial features the beer mug but it is the same techniques for all the designs!

These would make great gifts! Pair the Frappuccino with a Starbucks gift card for teacher appreciation, the beer mug for a birthday cheers, and the boba tea is so trendy and would look adorable hanging from a backpack or purse.

Cute comment: My daughter Zoe said “Mom, I love the root beer float keychain!”
HAHA! I love that the beer mug could also be a root beer float!
