These crochet lace key fobs put the fun in functional. You’re going to love how quick they are to make – and how easy they are too! I plan on including these little cuties in my Etsy orders as a special surprise freebie for my customers. They are totally cute enough to stand on their own though – and I think they would be great sellers. Of course, quick crochet projects are also perfect for last-minute gifting!
You can really use whatever yarn and hook you would like to make these crochet lace key fobs. I used worsted weight yarn and my favorite 4.5 mm hook. Cotton yarn is a crowd favorite for durability, but acrylic would also work just fine. I’d love to see these crochet lace key fobs worked up in other colors – and variegated yarns too – so make sure you tag me if you make some! @nineinspired on IG & Tiktok and @nineinspiredblog on Pinterest and Facebook
