Description
This crochet keyring kit lets you make a cheerful trio of peas tucked into an open green pod, each pea with little black eyes, a stitched smile and soft pink cheeks. Once finished, the keyring is about 13.5cm long, 5cm wide and 4cm deep, a size that sits comfortably in the hand and slips easily into a pocket or bag. It hangs from a short link 4cm long on a split ring 2.5cm across, so it goes straight onto a set of keys. The yarns come in two shades of green for the pod and the peas, with black and pink for the faces.
We recommend this kit for intermediate crocheters who already know their basic stitches and want a small, rewarding project to practise their shaping. The instruction sheet sets out the abbreviations used, from magic ring and slip stitch to increase and decrease single crochet, so the pattern is easy to follow one step at a time. Finished, the peas make a bright, friendly charm for house keys, a school or work bag, a pencil case or a zip pull, and they bring a little garden cheer to a gym bag or a set of car keys.
Inside the box you will find the yarns, a crochet hook, a needle, stuffing, plastic eyes, stitch markers, the keychain and a printed instruction sheet. The one thing to have ready is a pair of scissors for trimming your yarn ends. The instructions advise keeping your tension even and stuffing the peas firmly so they hold a neat, round shape. Once made, the keyring can be freshened with a gentle wipe using a damp cloth, then left to dry. As a gift, it is a tidy little project in one box, and the smiling trio makes a cheerful companion for any set of keys.
