This crochet sun keychain is an easy project that consists of only two rounds and can be finished in 15 minutes. This keychain will make a quick handmade gift, can also serve as a party favor, or as a decorative accessory for your bag. It’s a great way to use up scrap yarn and add a touch of handmade charm to your everyday items.

I made my sun keychain in three different ways: first, I made a sun applique and left it as is; second, I added a sun charm; and third, I attached googly eyes and embroidered a smile.
