The Pattern
Golden Corn Body
Work in continuous spirals. Use a stitch marker to track the first stitch of each round.
Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
Round 2: [inc] x 6 (12)
Round 3: [1 sc, inc] x 6 (18)
Round 4: [2 sc, inc] x 6 (24)
Round 5: [3 sc, inc] x 6 (30)
Round 6 to Round 17: 1 sc in each st around (30)
Place safety eyes now. Insert them between Round 14 and Round 15, spacing them exactly 9 stitches apart. This low, wide placement is crucial for our required innocent aesthetic.
Embroider a small “V” shaped mouth directly between Round 14 and Round 15, centered perfectly between the eyes. Apply blush or stitch pink cheeks directly below the outer corners of the eyes.
Round 18: [3 sc, dec] x 6 (24)
Round 19: [2 sc, dec] x 6 (18)
Stuff the body firmly, ensuring a beautifully rounded, chubby base. Do not overstuff to the point of stretching the stitches.
Round 20: [1 sc, dec] x 6 (12)
Round 21: [dec] x 6 (6)
Fasten off, leaving a tail. Weave the tail through the front loops of the final 6 stitches, pull tight to close the hole, and hide the yarn end inside the body.
Verdant Husks
Make exactly 2 identical pieces. We work along both sides of the foundation chain to create an oval shape.
Row 1: Ch 13. Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, work 3 sc, 6 hdc, and 2 sc. In the final chain, work 3 sc. Rotate your work to crochet down the opposite side of the foundation chain. Work 2 sc, 6 hdc, and 3 sc. (25)
Row 2: 1 sc, 2 hdc, 6 dc, and 2 hdc. This brings you to the 3-sc grouping at the tip. Work 1 sc in the first st, 3 sc in the middle st, and 1 sc in the third st. Moving down the opposite side, work 2 hdc, 6 dc, 2 hdc, and 1 sc. (27)
Row 3: 1 sc in the first 13 sts. In the very center stitch at the tip, work 3 sc. 1 sc in the remaining 13 sts. (29)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Assembly
🪡 Step 1: Thread the yarn tail from the first Verdant Husk onto your needle. Position the base of the husk securely against the bottom center of the Golden Corn Body (over Rounds 19-21).
🪡 Step 2: Sew the husk along the bottom curve, then tack it up the side of the corn body, stopping around Round 8. Leaving the top unsewn allows the leaf to gently flare outward.
🪡 Step 3: Repeat this exact process for the second Verdant Husk on the opposite side of the body, ensuring the bases overlap slightly for a natural look.
🪡 Step 4: Securely sew the keychain hardware to the absolute top center of the corn (Round 1), ensuring it is anchored through multiple stitches to bear the weight of daily use.
