Crochet Olympic Rings Charm/Pendant

I love Olympic Games and their symbols, the Olympic Rings. In 2004 I bought an Italian charm bracelet with Olympic and Greek flags, but I always wanted a pendant. When I saw Lindarose's Crochet Ring Coasters, I thought I could finally do the pendant myself!

Please, vote for me, if you like it! :)

What you'll need:

• 5 rings
• crochet
• scrap of cotton thread (blue, yellow, black, green and red)
• yarn needle
• 2 little rings and chain (optional)

Because I didn't have rings that were good for this work, I did them myself using the method I've described in my DIY rings 'ible.

As for the Lindarose's coaster, start with a slip stitch and crochet single stitch all around the ring. Finish with a slip stitch.

Crochet all the 5 rings.

Sew the rings together on the back, keeping in mind the place the colours have in the Olympic flag.

I sewed with the same thread I used for the crochet work, but maybe it could be better if you do it with normal cotton thread for sewing.

Add to little rings in the upper sc of blue and red rings. This way you can link a chain to do a pendant. If you put only one ring, you can use it as a keychain. The keyring could be linked directly to one of the rings :)

Edit: I've decided to take off the rings and put a piece of black thread in the back of the rings, so the necklace is finished without a chain.

Enjoy!
