This video shows how to crochet a cute Halloween bat pumpkin keychain. First, crochet an orange ball for the pumpkin body using single crochet increases and decreases, stuff it, and pull yarn over the sides to make pumpkin grooves. Next, crochet a small green stem and attach it to the top.
Then, crochet two black bat wings with textured edges and two pointed bat ears. Finally, glue the ears and wings to the pumpkin body, add 6 mm eyes, embroider a smiling mouth with white fangs, and attach a keychain ring.
