Description
This sweetcorn crochet keyring kit brings together the yarn, tools and instructions to stitch a smiling corn cob of your own, ready to hang from your keys. The finished piece is a plump yellow cob held between two green leaves of husk, with black plastic eyes, a stitched black smile and two soft pink cheeks. Once stuffed and sewn, it measures about 11cm long, 7cm wide and 4.5cm deep, small enough for a key bunch. Inside you will find yarn in yellow, green, black and pink, a crochet hook, a plastic needle, two plastic eyes, two stitch markers, a bag of stuffing and the keyring fitting with its chain and clasp.
We recommend this kit for intermediate crocheters, those with a few projects behind them who want to practise shaping in the round. The pattern works in rounds from a magic ring, using single crochet with increases, decreases and colour changes, so it suits anyone already comfortable with the basic stitches. The instruction sheet sets out the abbreviations and a short read-before-beginning section on tension, with tips on keeping stitches even and firm for a neat shape. Finished, it sits happily on house keys, a backpack zip or a handbag strap.
The kit comes in a kraft card box with a hanging tab, ready to wrap as a present. On the finished keyring, the split ring is 2.5cm across and the chain link is 4cm long, giving the sweetcorn a little room to swing. The instructions ask you to have scissors and basic sewing supplies to hand. Once made, it needs little care: brush away any dust and wipe gently with a barely damp cloth if it gets grubby. Stitch one for your own keys, or tuck the boxed kit into a parcel for someone who loves to crochet.
