A free crochet capybara pattern for a tiny keychain with a mini orange balanced on its head. This amigurumi capybara is a chubby caramel barrel with a tan snout, small round ears, sleepy embroidered eyes and a leafy orange on top, finished with a chain loop on the back for a key ring. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook, is stuffed firmly and stands about 6 cm (2.3 in) tall. The page gives a row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and an interactive 3D model so you can check every piece before you sew.

- Size before assembly: an oval about 6 × 3.9 cm at the widest, 4.1 cm long; 20 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs front to back; the starting chain is at the bottom of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
- With caramel: ch 9.
- → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- Size before assembly: an oval about 2.6 × 1.7 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 6 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy).

- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–2 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 1.8 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–5 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 5.9 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 16 mm across.<!-- (dish 70 %) -->
