Instructions

Striped Sling (Vertical Stripes):

Using C2 (Blue), ch 25.
Row 1: Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, sc in each ch across, turn. (24 sts)
Row 2: Ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. Switch to C3 (White) in the last stitch.
Rows 3-4: Ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. Switch to C2 (Blue) at the end of Row 4.
Rows 5-6: Ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. Switch to C3 (White) at the end of Row 6.
Rows 7-8: Ch 1, sc in each st across. Fasten off and weave in all yarn tails. You now have a mini striped beach towel sling with vertical stripes.

Wire Frame Structure (Beige):

Using jewelry pliers, bend your craft wire into two main rectangular structures:
Outer Frame: A rectangle measuring approximately 2.5 inches by 1.2 inches. Secure the wire ends by twisting them together tightly.
Inner Frame: A slightly narrower rectangle measuring approximately 2.2 inches by 1.1 inches.
To cover the wire, join C1 (Beige) with a slip stitch directly onto the wire frame.
Work tight single crochets all the way around the perimeter of each wire frame until the metal is completely covered. Join with a sl st to the first sc, fasten off, and leave a long tail for sewing.

Assembly and Finishing:

Place the Inner Frame inside the Outer Frame at an angle to form the classic ‘X’ fold of a deck chair.
Using C1 (Beige) yarn and your tapestry needle, securely sew the intersecting points on both sides of the frames together. Ensure the joint is secure but flexible enough to fold.
Wrap the top edge of the striped sling around the top horizontal bar of the Outer Frame, and sew it down securely.
Pull the other end of the sling down and wrap it around the bottom horizontal bar of the Inner Frame, sewing it in place so it has a gentle, realistic sag.
Finally, attach the jump ring of your keychain to the top corner of the beige frame. Your miniature beach chair keychain is ready to go!
