How to Start
This is a digital pattern — you won’t receive a finished keychain. After purchase you get an instant download via the email linked to your Etsy account. You’ll need Adobe Reader (or another PDF viewer) to open the file. The pattern does not teach basic crochet techniques, so make sure you’re comfortable with basic stitches; if you’re unsure, a quick refresher video will have you ready in minutes.
