How to Crochet a Tiny Treasure Chest with the Woobles Accessory Kit

Have you ever finished a Woobles crochet kit and wished you had a special place to store your tiny treasures? Whether it's a miniature gem, a tiny coin, or just a cute keepsake, a crochet treasure chest is the perfect accessory to complement your amigurumi collection. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create a tiny treasure chest using your Woobles accessory kit and basic crochet skills.

This project is ideal for beginners who have completed at least one Woobles kit and want to expand their skills. You'll practice working in the round, color changes, and simple assembly—all while making a functional and adorable accessory. Plus, you can customize it to match any of your favorite Woobles characters, like the Minecraft Bee Crochet Kit or Pinya the Pineapple Crochet Kit.

Materials You'll Need

To crochet your tiny treasure chest, you'll need a few basic supplies. First, grab your Woobles accessory kit—it includes the perfect hook, yarn, and stuffing for small projects. You'll also need two colors of worsted-weight yarn: a main color for the chest body (like brown or gold) and a contrasting color for the lid and accents (like dark brown or red). Don't forget a tapestry needle for sewing, scissors, and a stitch marker.

If you have extra yarn from previous kits, this is a great way to use it up. For example, the yellow from the Minecraft Bee Crochet Kit can make a sunny chest, or the green from Pinya the Pineapple Crochet Kit can create a tropical version. The possibilities are endless!

• Woobles accessory kit (hook, yarn, stuffing)
• Worsted-weight yarn in two colors (chest body and lid)
• Tapestry needle, scissors, stitch marker

Step 1: Crochet the Chest Base

Start by making a magic ring with your main color. Chain 1, then work 6 single crochet stitches into the ring. Pull the tail to close the ring tightly. This forms the bottom of your treasure chest. For the next round, increase in each stitch (12 stitches total). Continue increasing in a spiral until the base measures about 2 inches in diameter—this will be the floor of your chest.

Once the base is the right size, stop increasing and work even single crochet stitches for the next 6 rounds. This builds the walls of the chest. Remember to mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker to keep track. After 6 rounds, fasten off and weave in the ends. Your chest body is complete!

• Use a magic ring for a tight, seamless start.
• Increase evenly to create a flat circle for the base.
• Work even rounds to build the chest walls.

Step 2: Create the Lid

Now switch to your contrasting color for the lid. Make another magic ring and work 6 single crochet stitches. Increase in each stitch for the second round (12 stitches). For the third round, increase in every other stitch (18 stitches). Continue increasing until the lid is slightly larger than the chest opening—about 2.5 inches in diameter. This overhang will help the lid sit securely.

To give the lid a curved dome shape, work 2 rounds of even single crochet without increasing. Then, decrease by working two stitches together every few stitches to gently taper the edge. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the lid lightly with a tiny bit of filling to give it a puffy look.

• Make the lid slightly larger than the chest opening.
• Add a bit of stuffing for a puffy lid.
• Leave a long tail for attaching the lid.

Step 3: Add Details and Assembly

Before attaching the lid, add some decorative touches. Use your main color yarn to embroider a small lock or keyhole on the front of the chest. You can also add a tiny strap by chaining a few stitches and sewing them across the lid. For a more elaborate look, crochet a small handle using a chain of 10 stitches and attach it to the top of the lid.

Now it's time to assemble. Place the lid on top of the chest body, aligning the back edges. Use the long tail from the lid to sew it to the back of the chest with a whip stitch. Leave the front open so the lid can lift. Weave in all ends securely. Your tiny treasure chest is ready to hold your precious trinkets!

• Embroider a lock or keyhole for realism.
• Add a tiny handle for extra charm.
• Sew the lid only at the back edge so it opens.

Now you have a charming tiny treasure chest to store your amigurumi accessories or little secrets.
