It's hot ya'll! That means that summer is here and the sun is burning the earth crispy. I thought to myself,
I said "self," myself said "huh,"
I said "we should make something summer themed for Passion Project #6, since summer is technically here."
What better representation of summer than watermelon?!? Iykyk.
So this month, we are making a
Watermelon Keychain
Again, these Passion Projects are meant to be super easy, super quick, beginner friendly, and FREE. The thought came about to support my journey back to crocheting for fun rather than soley for business. I want to share the love, the passion, and the process with all of you. Aww shucks, you're welcome!
This one is by far the easiest, and quickest, in the Passion Project series. I timed the process this time, from start to finish, and I was able to do this one in under 20 minutes. Now don't be discouraged if it takes you a little longer, remember these projects are meant to be fun not stressful =)
Usually I can at least finish the creative process before my kids ninja their way into my office and battle for who will steal my latest project. This time, the oldest was smart and claimed her prize before I even started. I literally was setting up, and she was like "what are you making, oh that's cool, can I have it." hahahahahah I love it!
Okay okay, enough chatting. Here is the pattern.
