Everyone has keys, so everyone needs keyrings, and what better than a keyring shaped like a house? These little treats from Kirstie McLeod are gorgeous and can be made in any colour combination you can imagine (or have yarn for!). “These are great stash-busting projects,” says Kirstie. “They only use a small amount each so they’re perfect for those tiny bits of left-over yarn you can’t bear to part with, but that are too short for most other small projects.”
Why not make a collection for the whole family, for guests or perhaps to take on holiday to hang your hotel key from? We’re tempted to save a few for Christmas tree decorations!

You will need:

  • DK yarn stash, in 3 colours plus white and black.
  • A pair of 4 mm needles.
  • Keyrings.
