Granny Square Kaychain

Here is a pattern I made for our club at school. The keychains will be sold at a fundraiser. I'm also using it as an intro to granny squares.

Makes a basic three layered Granny Square.

You can use a different color for each round.

• To start:
• Make a slip knot.
• Chain (ch) 5, join last chain to first chain with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring

• Round (rnd) 1:

• Work two double crochet (dc) in ring
• (Ch 2, make 3 dc in ring) three times
• Ch 2
• Join work with a sl st in top of the ch-3 at beginning (beg) of rnd
• Fasten off and weave in tail.
• Rnd 2:
• Join yarn in second ch-2 space (sp) before the join of the rnd you just finished
• Ch 3
