I’ve struggled with my crojo this week. Summers are hard for me! Plus, my old iPod also died a few weeks ago. It was a 5th generation classic, so yeah, it was about 12 years old.  I snagged another one and have spent that last few days putting all my music on it (some of it needed to be ripped from CDs… ‘memba those?). I have forgotten about some of it and it’s crazy how listening to an old song can transport you back in time. It’s been very fun and nostalgic. Even though my mind was focused on getting all my music transferred,  I was able to complete an itty, bitty project anyway, this Crochet Flip Flop Keychain! These cuties are made with cotton fingering yarn, and are so fun to mix and match colors.

Aren’t these color so fun? I used a yarn by DMC, called Natura Yummy. I just thought the colors screamed summer, and it turned out to be the perfect yarn for these cute flip flop keychains.

Construction:

Using your darning needle, embroidery the thong piece to the tied-off sole. Attach it at the two ends and at the toe. 

The one on the right has the thong sewn to the tied-off sole side, the one of the left has the thong sewn to the still-attached sole side, so you can do which ever you like best. (I personally like the look of the slip stitches on top.)

Tie off the ends (don’t worry if it’s messy, it will be covered up), and line the soles up. Using the long tail of the sole, sl st 23. Stop at the top and ch 4, and continue the sl st around (this makes a loop to attach the keyring to).

Clip end and weave them in.
