Gauge

The gauge of this key strap as written (with the original hook size and yarn that I used) is 6 stitches and 5 rows in a 1×1″ piece. I went with such a small swatch becausee 6 stitches is the total width of the project, and also because this isn’t an overly technical project.

Sizing

The finished length of this strap is about 12″ long before it is finished, and it’s about an inch wide. However, as stated above the main goal here is to create a strap that is nice and sturdy. Also feel free to adjust the width as you need to for it to work with whatever swivel hook you have purchased.

Skill Level

This project is perfect for beginners, but useful for everyone!

Additional Ideas

Depending on who will be using this key strap or the specific size of the swivel hook that’s available to you, you may want to play with the dimensions when crocheting your key strap.

If you need to adjust the length or width of this key strap when you crochet your own, be my guest! It’s extremely easy to do with this pattern. All you really need to do is change the number of stitches that are in every row (to change the width) or tweak the number of rows (to change the total length).

Once you get the hang of this design, you may even be inspired to create your own version with another sturdy stitch.

Attaching the swivel hook

Put the swivel hook on to the strap you have created, and then ss the two short ends together tightly. Then, move the swivel hook to the seam you have just created, and seam the work with slip stitches again so that the swivel hook stays securely at one end of the strap(You may need to slip stitch a couple of times down one edge of the strap to get your working yarn in the best position for this).

Bind off very securely, weave in your ends, and enjoy your finished key holder!
