How To Make A Crochet Key Holder In Less Than Ten Steps.
After I was ambushed and my previous crochet keyholder ripped off of me, It took me quite a while to make another one. This is because my schedule hasn't really been accommodating of any crochet project. All this while, I walked around with the fear of losing my keys because they are so minute and any slight disturbance during the day can lead to them vanishing. 
![1000577383.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23w2sG9dezBTR1KWP1NpX4y13GRoEaPj1B1pTMskT3bJwHvMaoFhZUrzvt8TGKh9SD42a.jpg)

Yesterday, I had to squeeze out time to make a key holder that could easily put smiles on the face of those who see it, myself included. With some of the remaining yarn I had, I got to work. Let me  take you through the process of making this smiley face key holder in less than ten  steps and with limited materials.

## Materials Used 
* Yarn (two different colours)
* 2.5mm crochet hook
* Darning needle
* A pair of scissors 

## Procedures

**Step 1:** Make  a magic ring.
![1000577342.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23tmPzxYCSgVHDkddEdd12zPSNYvfG6DzbyvzBceuyp153VF82d5o6hjCdA8BaS1C7vQi.jpg)

Making a magic ring is similar to making a slip knot but instead of fully closing up the knot, a chain one is used to hold the open ring in place. A simple test to verify if you have a magic ring would be by dragging the tail of the yarn to check if it glides easily.

**Step 2:** Make a chain of three, insert twelve double crochet stitches into the magic ring and close up with a slip stitch.
![1000577344.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23uQxjEzqVNxH7Y5ohiaSLuuCod9ez4cZKAx2HaLyHSTcsy9nGBv6AL7wxb73TPcXt6wH.jpg)
This marks row one. By the end of row one, you should have thirteen stitches because the initial chain three counts as a stitch. When closing off with a slip stitch, do so to ensure there is no visible hole below the row.

**Step 3:** Make a chain of three and an increase into every other stitch and end with a slip stitch.
![1000577345.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23vi4EbfTsZiAfcRmWKFMX5mT2rTWrc6aDjSuvSSaLJw2XXX8p5mbC6Vh2iSv7G34LBf5.jpg)
Into the chain three spaces, an increase is also made.  This marks row two. At the end of row two, one should have twenty-six stitches.

**Step 4:** Make a chain of three and alternate the increases.
![1000577350.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23vsUqfUzpQaGdFCdRRgjXz4kND1ESSwZFEXz5repJ4uiub2KBLDLEek3QcdXMvMiY4H4.jpg)
For row three, we start off with a chain of three and into the next space, we make an increase. Increase, no increase, increase. Repeat this pattern till the end of the row and fasten off with a slip stitch and a chain one. Cut off the yarn

**Step 5:**  Repeat Steps one to three

This is done to have another half  of the project.  The two halves looked like a base for a beautiful crochet earring. Am I the only one seeing this?

**Step 6:** Using a threaded darning needle with a different colour, sew  in the eyes and the smile.
![1000577351.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23wgTqsQ6fSfSeiSTRXLXujunaybXyraVYxJU9DfmSyCLN2mdKsUBq377Xa6pSbDPyKdK.jpg)
I started with the eyes and then proceeded to sew the smile through. Sewing a straight line would produce a better smile but that line would be wonky, so I opted to sew the smile one step after the other.  

![1000577353.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23wqq7NJz5yyyo7EPWi5VGGRdyWqJvzQ56LDEJdgoevkgcTRK1UMRFEJLKn7EuhKZBDy4.jpg)
I did this for both halves of the project.

![1000577354.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23wX3hF9ZgPTXhDfM4mdEzV7z66yNY3EVtdi822xKrAudF2QthFoyYycv2es4qYjB2fqq.jpg)

**Step 7:** Join the two halves together using a threaded darning needle.

![1000577370.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23vsSXFqQnRcrSeyPG8XjmFpscCtNuGK6xKEkFVM1vbYN5VzVpTHDF5Husp3wGp5tVsvC.jpg)
I joined both halves and this gave a detail that I love very much. I like how the yarn gives a zig-zag, rough edge. 


![1000577369.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23wCBmxxwy4jGk5wHB5znp9jLQHzKNPRd31g26uSAmEEUETPKj2TnSNPPPJqvZe8DReNa.jpg)
This may not be very visible because it's in the same colour with the base yarn. Nonetheless, I still love this detail.

![1000577355.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23xL2VsK35uSmXnrDppfKPXm9KkdPh32SSNHtvRbb5bzqAyNcZsJFiMLzYfsCJozuYbWa.jpg)

![1000577359.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23wX5ZE2TfgcTjEfm9zzsepya6xPqSFNaQJSdc9pKdRbLY1pmdGXC3kSUTPymTmjhRYZS.jpg)

**Step 8:** Make the tassels.

![1000577374.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23wX5C26N11ip2cJFHT7Pi3SPYB5coKx28GGtQ2pB1xCePrAt55yUUZTgYTAVxmWdTCHW.jpg)
Instead of making a very thick tassel, I opted for something light and scanty, it's a key holder after all.  To make this, I wound the yarn over my hand about twenty times and then proceeded to tie another strand of yarn around my head. Next, I trimmed off the excesses and the tassel was ready.

**Step 9:** Couple the project.
![1000577376.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23wCG5ZQUXKqE8XbpF3Bt6TaVwtM9SKzn2g1u6aiGkQ7t3saCgjv2wJtBsM8tg15d2AMp.jpg)
I attached the tassel to the smiley face and while at it, I created a strand that could serve as a loop for my keys.  This pretty much finalized the entire project.

I liked how this keyholder turned out. For the prototype, I chose a very bright colour to make the key holder easily spottable. However, If I'm recreating this design again, I may be making it in s darker colour. 


![1000577377.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/wongi/23wMejyqPoQiNNxzHr6WmEB7FVqYijDCXHJErn92CfyuQ3ZWsr5dWYUm35XYLyM1TPouL.jpg)

It looks pretty cool. Love its design. Keys are light weighted, otherwise, the part holding the key should be thicker. Nice work!

It's a lovely color, and the crochet piece is also cute. !DIY
My concern is the thread you used to attach the key. Do you think it's strong enough? I was thinking you should make the thread more thick.

The thread is thin no doubt but my keys are very light. The problem would arise if I acquire more keys, maybe when I finally get that Lamborghini, eh๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜„. 

Thank you for the suggestion Funshee, I'd correct that next time๐Ÿ˜Š
