Strawberry Jam Amigurumi Keychain


Notes
This pattern uses US terminology, and is worked in the round. Make sure to place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round!

Testers tried various types and weights of yarn, but found DK/Light worsted works best for this pattern.

The pattern is for personal use ONLY. No copying. No selling. No reposting without credit and permission. Feel free to sell your finished creations (small-scale), but please give credit for the pattern.

You may find it easier to attach the label before stuffing the jam jar.

Why not try various Yarn A colours to represent your favourite flavour, or even create a jar of fairy dust or slime?
