Sunshine on a Keychain

@doreenarch · 2025-05-13 18:46 · NeedleWorkMonday
#needlework I've never been one to be fond of making crochet keychains. I just stayed away from it. I probably thought I would not like the experience or maybe I wouldn't enjoy it but obviously I was wrong and trust me to fill you in on the details. ![20250512_151533.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23wMcoh5XYbB4aUghNWHfsspkRCVREEqEv2v2WcVfRuzRJmTs2nrq78h4T97NSgrExvVb.jpg) Everyday I post design inspirations on my status. It helps people pick the designs they want to make without sourcing for it themselves. ![20250512_140417.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23xyZ9A48csPBtyeYhAMmj41PQgX8fpVSvFmYoyUiRPo1GSDQxERYz8FL27M2K6aHQJs9.jpg) This day was different, my eldest sister saw an image of a sunflower keychain, she asked the price and all that I replied to her but I had a different plan in mind. ![20250512_141921.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23x19Ev2B98mB7HbjtpbMt2rQVkT2v4rPfXzNrhKTW94xwkoiznidGCE2raF95HrYdcTs.jpg) I haven't made her anything before at least not directly she mostly sees what she likes and takes it so I figured If I was going to start gifting her I can start by tasting these dangerous waters. ![20250512_145731.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23w2oCPsjXTvdBEjFDggB2vyTCCcdG442eWCNUcFUEpAreUc5Pco4Qq2iKxJxxrc7tXuy.jpg) Her taking an interest in the keychain inspired me to try making one. And it was amazing and confusing in the beginning but totally worth it. ![20250512_150509.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23w2q3sunkWAUvoqEU4qzdgAFo6yfZk3mocYrXQyg27jbKr5832Babvvkx9NfQjg2Erqi.jpg) I almost never work with 2ply yarn. I doubt the yarn was fully that. I worked with a 2.0mm hook haven't don't that in months and guys I wear classes if someone was watching me try to work with the darker shade they'll certainly laugh at how funny my face looked when I was squinting but that only lasted for a few since the next was to be a brighter color. ![20250512_151229.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23wMeXubPFfM9iJkTBCFHEkmy8vUshEDcERubn71U945G64XmWwuBJA6FhJ7iCXiZHgRf.jpg) I had to make the leaf last. I still dunno why but it was so quick but then it came out tiny and cute and I just murmed “I wonder what I was so scared to try this out” ![20250512_151231.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23uFYN2zCnsnqv12q3E2niybZQVEHfLdHp6PQz8y8pyLhctmnmbuYAsHLx8XNzT3bfhFV.jpg) I got into this. I had an idea of how to start since making the crochet socks weeks ago gave me an idea of heat stitch ut was but I wasn't exactly sure of the stitch for the sides so obviously I ran to youtube to come rescue me. I didn't find the exact sunflower design I was making. ![20250512_151236.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23vsSmi3HMm3W84v5geiYsE5YZ4dNaSeC9VMxxgeXsBJePSKncf9Z2CAoQBBgQkR86bTD.jpg) Some had different stitch in the beginning or at the end I had to find one that had the stitch I wanted in the end. I started making and and it started coming out just how I wanted it. All I could think of was how surprised she'll be when the rider delivers it to her. ![20250512_151246.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23w2qe8LwqywuGDgXeScPXDLV1jPDo9t1E2AYbw3yqcWgpPxBMtxsvwwpVJ42Q6BJwvw2.jpg) I love this project not because of what it is but it kinda feels like a reward for my victory like a warrior that came back from battle yeah. That sort of thing. I had to wait till it got to her to make this post so I can capture the full essence of my joy. She sent a picture with her keys in it and it was tge moat warm feeling I had today. ![20250512_151533.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/doreenarch/23wMcoh5XYbB4aUghNWHfsspkRCVREEqEv2v2WcVfRuzRJmTs2nrq78h4T97NSgrExvVb.jpg) Do you love sunflowers too or would you like me to try another flower that you like more ?
