Pizza is a favorite food among many kids, and for good reason. The combination of gooey cheese, savory tomato sauce, and a variety of delicious toppings is hard to resist. Let your child(ren) show their love of pizza to the world with this easy Pizza Slice Keychain pattern! The crochet Pizza Slice keychain works up in under an hour, and it’s perfect for crocheters of all skill levels. Whether you’re the newest beginner, to the most advanced professional.
You can hang these cuties on your kids’ backpack (or yours!), use it to identify luggage at the airport baggage claim, gift it to a teacher or friend… the possibilities are endless. And not only that, but this project uses just a tiny bit of yarn, which makes it a great scrap buster! I hope you enjoy making this adorable little accessory as much as I do.

- Hot glue or sew the pepperonis onto the pizza.
Keyring
Using a yarn needle and the same tan yarn you used for your crust, sew the keyring onto the pizza.
Make sure not to cinch up your stitches too tightly, or else your keyring won’t be able to swing or twist as it’s being used.
I like to make several open loops with my yarn passing through the keyring to make sure it’s sturdy enough while still being able to swing and twist appropriately.
And that’s it! Now you’ve got yourself an adorable pizza keychain that’s sure to please! No go forth and crochet, my friends!
