Summer Fun Key Fob Free Pattern

Do you have tiny scraps of yarn that are too big to throw away, but too small for many projects? This key fob pattern is just the thing! I couldn't throw away the leftover bits of this hand dyed yarn from ALC Yarns, so I designed this pattern to use up every single bit of yarn. It coordinates with my Summer Fun Clutch pattern that is available in my shops.

Materials:

Size G (4 mm) Crochet Hook

Worsted Weight Yarn #4 (ALC hand dyed yarn) Approximately 85 yards

Scissors

Needle for weaving in ends

Tape Measure – For checking gauge

Gauge:

10 sts in SC, 10 rows = 2 inches 

Check your gauge and adjust hook size accordingly. 

Abbreviations (US Terms):

CH – Chain

SC – Single Crochet

HDC – Half Double Crochet 

HDCfront3rdloop – See notes

FLO – Front Loop Only

Puff  St – Puff Stitch (see notes)

Sl St – Slip Stitch

Sk – Skip

Ch-Sp – Chain Space

St(s) – Stitch(es) 

Notes:

• Ch 1 at the beginning of a row does NOT count as a st.

• This is worked in rows. Turn at the beginning of each row.

• Repeat sections will be noted with * *
