Crochet a Cute Cake Roll Keychain 🍰 Some crochet projects are especially fun because you can recognize them at a glance, even in miniature. This little cake roll has the look of a sweet treat and is small enough to hang from a set of keys or a bag. My cake roll keychain video tutorial takes you through the project step by step. If you’re new to making small crochet accessories, play each section at your own pace and pause when you need to check a stitch or the shape.
What you’ll need
- Yarn in colors for the cake and its filling
- A crochet hook suited to your yarn
- Scissors and a yarn needle
- A key ring or hanging attachment if you want to use it as a charm
To match my sample, check the yarn colors and hook shown in the video. A different color pairing is an easy way to make your own version: try a light cake with a pink filling, or a darker cake with a cream-colored center. 🧶 Making your mini cake roll As you follow the tutorial, watch how the crochet pieces form the cake roll’s distinctive shape. Before fastening everything securely, take a moment to check that the center detail is visible from the front. Weave in your ends neatly so they don’t show around the edges. If you’re adding a key ring, attach it firmly and give the finished charm a gentle tug before putting it on a bag that you use every day. You could also leave off the ring and use the cake roll as a tiny decorative piece.
