If there is one thing that I love, that would be bright colors! And, you know what screams COLOR more than anything else?! A RAINBOW! So, I made a cute little Crochet Rainbow Keychain or two!

Y’all, these just make me absolutely HAPPY! The colors, the puffy little ‘clouds’, I love everything about them.

I wanted the clouds to look “Fluffy” and have lots of texture. I think that I achieved that by using the Bobble Stitch to help create the clouds.

This is the perfect thing to make that uses very little yarn, but could also help to use of some of your leftover yarn from other projects that you don’t know what to do with.

And, not only do these make cute keychains, you can add a different kind of clip to them and kids could hang them on their backpacks or lots of other things.

I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and I just happened to run across this super cute Rainbow Stuffy! I found it after I had made this keychain. My sister said, ‘Oh, it matches your keychain.’ I just put my blue and pink backwards or it would have been an absolute perfect match. Of course, I just had to get the stuffy! And, now it has it’s place on my cube wall!
