About This Pattern
This is a small round face, made twice, then joined into one charm. It fits neatly into a bag or a keychain. It works well for a quiet evening, one round at a time. You need fine yarn, a small hook, and a little patience for tight stitches. Five rounds per circle, then a simple seam. Nothing about it is complicated, just small and steady.

More pictures
Before the first stitch
- Check you have enough skin-color 4ply yarn for two full circles.
- Read through all five rounds once before starting Round 1.
- Test your gauge with a small magic ring swatch first.
Minutes per piece
- Head, first circle about 45 minutes, because five rounds of tight increases take care
- Head, second circle and seaming about 45 minutes, because matching stitches while sewing takes patience
Other yarns that work
- Cotton, 4ply weight gives a crisper edge and holds shape well, same hook size works
- Acrylic, sport weight makes a slightly larger charm, so size up your hook a touch
Where it ends up
- Clip it to a backpack zipper, paired with a small keyring.
- Attach it to a pencil case for a quiet personal touch.
- Give it as a small handmade gift, tucked into a card.
Joining up
- Step 1 Place the two circles wrong sides together. Use the tails to sew around the edges, joining the two pieces. Be sure to align the stitches to ensure a neat finish.
- Step 2 Tuck in any remaining ends.
Small notes
- Use a 2.0mm hook to keep stitches small and even for this scale.
- Mark the start of each round if you lose count during increases.
- Keep tension snug, since loose stitches will show gaps in a piece this small.
Little questions
Why make two circles instead of one?
Two circles give the charm depth and a proper edge to seam. Joined wrong sides together, they hold their round shape nicely.
Do I need to stuff the head?
The pattern does not list stuffing among materials. You can leave it flat or add a small amount if you want more shape.
Can I use a different yarn weight?
Yes, but the finished charm will change size. A heavier yarn means a bigger charm and a larger hook to match.
How do I keep the increases even?
Follow each round's stitch count closely, since increases build fast. Counting after every round catches mistakes early, before they compound.
