Taco Keychain – Free Crochet Pattern

Hello Friends! I am thrilled to bring you another awesome Free Crochet Pattern! Just in time for National Taco Day on October 4th, I have a pretty sweet pattern for you! I hope you enjoy my Taco Keychain Crochet Pattern as much as I enjoyed designing it!

I don’t know about y’all, but in our house Tacos are their own food group. Revered by all, both in food and crochet form! So it was only natural that this fun Taco Keychain pattern should evolve! After the popularity of my Mini Ice Cream Cone Keychains at our monthly Boutique Sale, my brain was bursting with ideas for kitchy keychains.

But I couldn’t have done it alone. You are looking at yet another Crochet Pattern inspired by the whims of my 8 year old daughter and her obsession with keychains! 🙂 The girl loves tacos, and really who could blame her, am I right? She’s pretty good inspiration, too. Check out my Emoji Keychain Pattern if you love fun keychains as much as she does! I would have totally dug the same stuff as a kid, so hey, even better!

This Taco Keychain pattern is quick and fun to make! Makes a fun gift for a new driver, fancy up your kids’ backpacks, or stocking stuffers for all the kids and teens in your life! Add a fun face to really personalize your Taco Keychain, whatever strikes your fancy! No matter how you make it, your DIY Taco Keychain is sure to be a hit! Don’t crochet?

FINISHING TACO KEYCHAIN:

Stitch the Lettuce, Tomato, and Meat together:

1. Begin by weaving in all BUT ONE of the ends of these 3 pieces. You will use the one remaining end to baste these parts together.

1. Stack the pieces with Lettuce on the bottom, followed by Meat, and Tomato on Top.

Run a stitch back and forth through the stack of Fillings along the bottom edge, from one side to the other until they are stitched together. Weave in the remaining end of the yarn.

Stitch the Fillings into the Taco Shell:

Begin by laying the taco shell open, with the wrong side up.
Place the stack of Filling pieces on one half of the shell, and bring the other side of the shell up to meet the other edge. You may have to tug on the shell a bit to get it in position.
Pin or hold the shell in place and use the yarn ends from the shell to stitch the shell together with fillings inside.
Use both ends from the shell, starting at the either edge of the Taco and secure the lower curve of the shell to the fillings on one side, then the other, before stitching the rest of the shell.
Stitch all the way around the edge of the Taco Shell, at R4 to secure the Taco together.

Adding a Keyring to your Taco Keychain:

Simply insert a split key ring or jump ring into one of the stitches from your initial magic circle on the top of the key ring. Secure. That’s it! I am a huge fan of these keychains with a chain and split jump ring. They are so easy to attach, see below!

Hi Lisa! Thanks for sharing such a cute pattern. I loved this taco so much I had to make one for myself right away! I only hit a few snags and my tomato came out more of a fan shape than a half circle. But the finished product looks pretty good! Now all I need are the keychains you recommended. Thanks again for such a great pattern!
