Be Mine Keychain | Crochet Free Pattern for Kids & Adults

Hearts

… I am not sure why I see my photos in such different colors as supposed to be (just in case –here are rich lime green and gorgeous royal blue). I use Windows Life Writer which I LOVE for many years, but looks as they have some “issues” with Adobe Ps6… or probably it’s just me?! ;o)

Anyways!! Please let me introduce one of my new crochet patterns:

Be Mine Keychain

Red and pink are usual colors for Valentine Day, but why stop there? Crochet this keychain in your favorite colors and step out in style! Get creative and stylize it further by crochet with beads, sequins and other embellishments. Or just turn it into necklace, hair pin …or whatever you can think of!

This pattern is available for download for free (to download: simple click at highlighted in green be_mine_keychain_v01.pdf file on the right ) >>>
