Goonies is one of our family all time favorite movies...maybe your family favorite too?
I wanted to make a little something to commemorate this awesome trip and I settled on a keychain of Sloth ♡
I felted his mouth but you could easily embroider as well.

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 2019.
You may do whatever you like with your completed Sloth keyring, you can attach to a zipper, befriend a group of Goonies, 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 Sloth Keychain :)
