Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Repeat to make a second blade.

Part 2 — Pivot

Round 1: MR, 8 sc. Join with a slip stitch. (8 sts)

Round 2: Chain 1, inc in every stitch around. (16 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Part 3 — Handle (make 2)

Foundation: Make a small starting loop, then chain 24.

Round 1: Join into a ring by working into the raised back ridge of your first chain with a slip stitch. Chain 1, then sc into the raised back ridge of each of the 24 chains around. (24 sc)

Round 2: Work 24 slip stitches around, for a neat, slightly raised finished rim.

Fasten off. Make a second handle the same way — one with a longer tail left for sewing, the other with just enough to weave in.

Assembly

The source video moves quickly from the materials list into a finished piece without narrating each assembly step — the following is based on standard construction and the reference photo:

  1. Position the two blades side by side so their pointed tips angle outward, like an open pair of scissors.
  2. Sew or glue the pivot piece where the two blades cross, securing them together at that center point.
  3. Attach the two ring-shaped handles below the blades, one on each side.
  4. Attach the two safety eyes onto the pivot/face area.
  5. Embroider a small smile in black thread beneath the eyes, and add pink blush marks on each cheek.
  6. Attach a keychain ring/clasp at the top of the piece.

Common mistakes

MistakeFix
Blades don’t taper evenlyCompare both blades side by side at each checkpoint round before moving to the next — small drift compounds over 19 rounds
Handles look floppy instead of holding their ring shapeMake sure Round 1 is worked into the back ridge specifically, not just any part of the chain — this is what gives the ring its structure
Face looks off-centerPlace the eyes and embroidery after both blades are joined to the pivot, using the finished piece as your guide rather than positioning on a single blade alone

Finishing

Weave in all remaining ends. Let any glued elements set fully before regular handling, especially the keychain attachment point.
