Uncle Snow White Crochet Tutorial | Funny Fairy-Tale Keychain

Uncle Snow White Crochet Tutorial | A Funny Fairy-Tale Keychain

Snow White is one of my favorite fairy-tale characters, but I wanted to make a version with a sense of humor. Meet Uncle Snow White: a little crochet character with an unmistakable crying face. 😭🧶

That expression is what makes this project fun. Instead of a perfectly poised princess, you get a handmade character with a story—and a face that might make someone laugh before they even ask how you made it. Follow my free step-by-step Uncle Snow White video tutorial to crochet your own.

Before you begin

Prepare yarn in the colors you want for your character, a hook suited to your yarn, scissors, and a yarn needle. Set aside yarn for the facial details, too. If you want to turn the finished piece into a keychain, have your preferred ring or attachment ready.

The video uses these US crochet abbreviations:

• ch: chain
• sc: single crochet
• hdc: half double crochet
• sk: skip
• sl st: slip stitch

The video description doesn’t list a yarn brand or hook size, so I haven’t specified one here. Using the same yarn weight throughout will help the parts look consistent.

Give the face its personality

The crying face is the detail that turns this from a familiar fairy-tale idea into Uncle Snow White. Before securing the facial details, position them and take a look from a little distance. Small changes in spacing can make the expression look more dramatic, surprised, or endearingly silly.

Follow the video for the exact stitches and construction. If you’re making a keychain, weave in the ends carefully and check that the attachment is secure before putting it on a bag or set of keys.

Keychain or little decoration?

You can carry Uncle Snow White as a keychain, attach it to a bag, or display it wherever you need a tiny bit of comic relief. It would also make a funny handmade gift for a friend who appreciates fairy tales and a good joke. 💗
