I decided to try and use the braided concept I used for my Macrochet Mini Planters to make a little keychain, and I think they came out really cute! They look like macramé knots but they are simple single crochet stitches. They take very little by way of supplies and are SUPER fast to make. They would make a great little vendor market item for the warmer months or a nice small gift!

Supplies Needed:

• 1 keychain ring approx. 1.25” in diameter
• 1 30 mm lobster claw clasp with connector ring (you may also need some round nose and flat nosed pliers for this project if you can’t find these items already put together)
• 3 wooden beads of varying size (Optional. I used 10 mm, 14 mm, and 16 mm)
• Approx. 20-30 yards of size 4 worsted weight cotton yarn, double strands held together (so technically 40-60 yards). I used Peaches & Cream in the color Ecru
• Size J 6.0 mm hook
• Piece of cardboard 4” wide
• Scissors, yarn needle, measuring tape
• Clipboard for stabilizing your project while you braid the strands (optional)
