Simple Crochet Cactus Key Chain

I am making this key chain for my friend with Rett syndrome.

Stitches used:

+MC

+Sc

+Dc

+Ch

+Ss

+Sc2tog

The flower is worked in a spiral.

Rnd 1- 6 sc MC (6)
Rnd 2- 3 dc into first st, (sc and 3 dc into next st) x5 (23)

To FO- Ss into next st, cut yarn, pull end of yarn through and it should stay put

(I had no idea what else to call it)

Row 1- Ch 20

To FO- Cut yarn and pull end through

This is worked in a spiral. When you get to about the ninth row I would recommend sewing the chain at the top and tying the ends on the inside. (This is so it doesn't come off during use.) I would also suggest attatching the flower when you get to the ninth row as well. I would suggest putting the center of the flower on row 3, but it doesn't matter. Make sure to tie the ends together on the inside!

Rnd 1- 6 sc MC (6)

Rnd 2- (2 sc into next st) x6 (12)

Rnd 3- (1 sc, 2 sc into next st) x6 (18)

Rnd 4- 1 sc, 2 sc into next st, (2 sc, 2 sc into next st) x5, sc (24)

Rnd 5-9- Sc x24 (24)

*Recommended place to sew on chain and flower

Rnd 10- 1 sc, 1 sc2tog, (2 sc, 1 sc2tog) x5, sc (18)

Rnd 11- (1 sc, 1 sc2tog) x6 (12)

Stuff the ball

Rnd 12- (sc2tog) x6 (6)

To FO- Ss into next st, cut yarn and pull end of yarn through. Sew opening closed by running needle through the FLO of each st and pull shut. Run yarn back and forth through ball, pull tight, and cut so yarn is hidden inside.
