Handmade Crochet Turtle Keychain and Bag Charm

A tiny turtle rides along on your keys, stitch by stitch by hand

You clip it to the zip of a backpack and it bobs there all day, a palm sized turtle with a cream body and a shell that someone crocheted by hand. The eyes are two small black beads, the legs poke out at four corners, and the marbled shell catches the light in the car or on a cafe table. It is the kind of small thing that makes a plain set of keys yours.

The body is soft yarn worked in the round, finished with a metal split ring and a lobster clasp so it moves easily between keys, a bag and a mirror. The shell comes in six marbled colourways, each blending two or more tones, and because every piece is made by hand no two turn out exactly the same.

Best for: anyone who likes a handmade charm on their keys or bag, and collectors of cute crochet who want more than one colour.

Why It Works

A mass moulded charm looks like everyone else's; a hand crocheted one does not. The marbled yarn gives each shell depth instead of a flat block colour, and the soft body takes knocks in a bag without chipping or cracking. The lobster clasp means you can move it from keys to a new bag in a second.

Quick Product Facts: hand crocheted turtle keychain; soft yarn body with black bead eyes; marbled shell in six colourways; metal split ring and lobster clasp; palm sized; one turtle per order; each piece varies slightly by hand.

How It Fits Your Routine

Clip it to your everyday keys so they are easy to spot in a bag, or hang it from a backpack or handbag as a soft charm. It also loops over a car rear view mirror.

Keep it away from water to protect the yarn, and if it picks up dust give it a gentle brush or a wipe with a barely damp cloth. Because it is handmade, treat it as you would any crochet piece rather than a hard plastic tag.
