Adidas Trefoil Logo (Red yarn):

Embroider the classic Trefoil logo onto the tongue using red yarn and a yarn needle. Refer to the original image for placement and style.

Black Stripes (Black yarn):

Using black yarn and a yarn needle, surface crochet or embroider three parallel horizontal stripes on each side of the shoe, positioning them as shown in the image on the widest part of the upper.

Red Heel Collar (Red yarn):

Join red yarn to the top edge of the heel opening (where you started Row 10 of the upper body). Sc evenly around the entire opening, making sure to work into the sides of the rows to create a neat edge. Aim for approximately 20-24 sc. Sl st to the first sc to join. FO and weave in ends.

Laces (White yarn):

Cut a length of white yarn (approx. 10-12 inches). Using your yarn needle, create two small “eyelet” stitches on each side of the tongue opening (4 in total) by making small, neat stitches. Thread the white yarn through these eyelets to form the laces, tying a small bow in the center as shown in the image.

Assembly and Finishing:

Carefully stuff the sneaker, ensuring it holds its shape well, especially in the toe area. Don’t overstuff. Sew the tongue into the front opening of the shoe, centering it beneath the laces. Use the long tail left from the upper body (after Row 16) to close any small gaps and neatly secure the top edges of the opening if needed, blending it with the red collar. Create a small loop for the keychain: Ch 5-7 with white yarn, then sl st to the back center of the red heel collar to form a sturdy loop. Thread your keychain ring through this loop. Weave in all remaining yarn ends securely to complete your amigurumi sneaker keychain.
