Wood Ring Key Chain

This key chain is made from a 3" wooden ring that has had a screw eye and split ring added to it. Actually this would make a great bazaar item. It is fairly quick to make and very inexpensive as well.

Materials Needed
Small amount luster sheen. Rose was used in the example.
Size C/2 2.75mm aluminum crochet hook
1 wooden ring 3" x .5"
power drill
1/16" drill bit
1 Screw Eye .5"
1 small split key ring

Yarn Thickness 2mm
Gauge: 6sc = 1"
Finished Size: 3.5" diam
Skill Level: Beginner

Instructions
Drill hole into wooden ring anywhere on the outside of it. Screw the screw eye into it. Put ring onto screw eye. (You can order a ring with all of this already done if you like. Just email me for details.)

RND 1: Tie yarn onto ring just to the left of the screw eye. Sc in ring. *Ch3. 2sc in ring. Rep from * until wooden ring is completely filled. I did not count how many times. Just repeat it until you fill it up. Then join w/slst to first sc. Fasten off and weave ends into work.

You can use worsted weight acrylic or cotton yarn and an H/8 5mm aluminum hook for faster, more bulky results.

Random Quick Tip!

Sending Crochet Hooks
If you need to send crochet hooks in the mail, you could flatten a paper towel tube, cut it so it is 7" long, then tape one end to seal it. I suggest using Fiber Tape for strength. Then put the hooks inside the tube, they should be wrapped in tissue paper, then seal up the other end. Then you can put this protective tube inside a 6"x9" envelope for sending through the mail. This way they should not work themselves out of the envelope. You could even send them in a business size envelope that is made manilla paper. That way it is not sooo big.
