So far this year, I have been keeping up with my goal of trying to blog more often and I am finding calm in having these little moments to myself each weekend.
I am feeling slightly stressed as I have been promising to create something beautiful for a wonderful company but I just never seem to have the time, or the motivation, to do it. Hopefully I will find some inspiration and get moving with that project soon!
I have, however, been making some adorable key rings lately after a friend asked me to make some for her.
I started out with Lumpy Space Princess and Jake the Dog from Adventure Time, following the patterns from Mia's Atelier. I noticed that she didn't have a pattern for Finn, so I created my own!
You will need:
Yarn
Yarn needle
3.5mm crochet hook
Scissors
Key ring/chain (I got a pack of 12 from eBay!)
Toy stuffing
Abbreviations (US terms!):
sc = single crochet
inc = increase (2sc in the same stitch)
dec = decrease (sc 2 stitches together)
mr = magic ring
sk = skip 1 stitch
Pattern:
