Notes

All terms American.   If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.  As with any pattern, be sure to read through once before beginning, and don't forget to mark your rounds! (I use a bit of contrasting yarn) This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson 2016.



You may do whatever you like with your completed Jack or Sally keyring, you can sell them, capture Sandy Claws,  or even give them as a gift!  I only ask that you please not claim this pattern as your own, I worked hard to design my Jack or Sally Keychain :)
