Tips & Variations
Use classic white flowers for a soft lily of the valley look, or try pink, blue, yellow, and purple for a cute pastel keychain collection.
Cotton yarn gives the keychain a neat shape and crisp stitch definition. Acrylic yarn gives a softer, puffier finish.
For smaller keychains, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook. For a larger bag charm, use slightly thicker yarn.
You can make a fuller charm by adding three flowers instead of two, but keep them lightweight so the keychain still hangs nicely.
For a cleaner finish, hide all tails inside the flowers and leaf before final assembly.
