Materials Needed

Crochet hook

Yarn in desired colors
Stitch marker
Keychain hardware

Scissors

Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

Gather your crochet hook and yarn.
Hold the crochet hook in your right hand as if holding a pencil.
In your left hand, wrap the yarn around your little finger, between your middle and index fingers, and hold it with your thumb and middle finger.

Step 2: Create a Magic Ring

Cross the yarn to create a circle and hold it in place.
Insert the crochet hook into the circle, yarn over, and pull through to form a loop.

Make a slip stitch by yarning over and pulling through the loop to secure the magic ring.

Step 3: Row One – Single Crochets

Make six single crochets into the magic ring.

Insert the crochet hook into the circle, yarn over, pull through (two loops on the hook), yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
After making each single crochet, use a stitch marker to mark the beginning stitch.

Step 4: Tighten the Magic Ring

Tighten the magic ring by pulling the shorter yarn end to close the center hole.

Step 5: Slip Stitch to Complete Row One

To complete row one, make a slip stitch in the beginning stitch by inserting the hook, yarning over, and pulling through both loops.

Step 6: Row Two – Single Crochet Increases

Start row two with a slip stitch followed by a chain.
In this row, you will make single crochet increases, which means two single crochets in each stitch from the previous row.

Insert the hook into the first horizontal braid, yarn over, and pull through to make the first single crochet, followed by another single crochet in the same stitch.
Repeat this process for all stitches in the row, marking the first stitch with the stitch marker.

Step 7: Row Three – Alternating Single Crochets and Increases

Begin with a chain.
Alternate between making a single crochet in one stitch and two single crochets in the next stitch.
Repeat the pattern of one single crochet followed by an increase (two single crochets in one stitch) six times around.

Step 8: Row Four – X VX Sequence

For row four, follow the sequence X VX, where X represents a single crochet and V represents an increase.
Start with a single crochet, followed by a single crochet increase, and continue the pattern repeating six times around.

Step 9: Row Five – XXV Sequence

In row five, continue with the sequence XXXV – three single crochets followed by an increase (two single crochets in one stitch).
Repeat this sequence six times.
