Since today is all about finding a rhythm that feels good, this pattern is short, sweet, and doesn't require a ton of brain power. It’s the perfect little companion for a slow afternoon.

​The Boho Fringe Keychain Pattern

​What you'll need:

​A small amount of cotton or acrylic yarn from your project stash.

​A hook that gives you a nice, tight stitch.

​A metal key ring or lobster clasp.

​A comb to brush out that fringe.

​Optional: A few wooden or colorful beads with a large enough hole for your yarn.

​The Steps:

​The Base: Attach your yarn to the keyring with a slip stitch. Work 6 single crochets directly around the metal ring. Chain 1 and turn.

​The Body: Single crochet in each stitch across (6 stitches). Chain 1 and turn. Repeat this for 4 or 5 rows, or until it looks like a little square tab hanging from your ring.

​The Point: To give it that boho shape, start decreasing. Single crochet the first two stitches together, single crochet in the middle two, and single crochet the last two together (4 stitches). Chain 1 and turn.

​The Finish: Single crochet the first two together and the last two together (2 stitches). Fasten off and weave in your ends.

​The Fringe: Cut 4-inch pieces of yarn. Fold them in half and use your hook to pull the loop through the bottom stitches of your project. Pull the tails through the loop to secure them.

​The Beads: If you want to level up the look, slide a bead onto a couple of your fringe strands before you trim them. Tie a small knot under the bead to keep it in place. It adds that perfect earthy weight to the piece.

​The Fluff: Give the fringe a little trim so it is even, then use a comb to brush the yarn out until it is soft and crinkly.

​It is a quick win that looks like you spent way more time on it than you actually did.
