Flowery Lanyard

Description

If you are looking for a project that is as practical as it is joyful, you have found it with my Flowery Lanyard. This pattern is a wonderful way to practice your stitching because it looks incredibly neat and professional, yet it is beautifully simple to achieve. We will make a durable, tight fabric strap using the “Shallow single crochet stitch,” which just means inserting your hook into the base of the stitch below to create a lovely, sturdy row of neat little V’s. Whether you are a brand new crafter holding a hook for the first time or an expert looking for a relaxing stash-buster, this delightful pattern will guide you step-by-step through creating the strap and stitching up those darling little blossoms.

This sweet lanyard is absolutely wonderful for everyday use, especially if you want to dress up a work badge, school ID, or keep your keys easily accessible and close to your heart. Because it only takes a single skein for the main strap and lets you use up your favorite leftover scraps of yarn for the flowers, it makes a truly thoughtful, budget-friendly gift! It is the perfect token of appreciation for teachers, nurses, or coworkers who deserve a little extra brightness in their day. You can even choose a unique keychain clip to give it that perfect finishing touch.
