• The rainbow crochet keychain pattern is made in rounds and then folded for the last round.
• Round 1: With the purple yarn, make a mr loop then sc x8 into it (8). Then fasten off the purple yarn and switch it to blue.
• Round 2: With the blue yarn, inc in every stitch from the previous round (16). Then fasten off the purple yarn and switch it to green.
• Round 3: With the green yarn, sc, inc, then repeat for the rest of the round (24). Then fasten off the green yarn and join the yellow yarn.
• Round 4: With the yellow yarn, sc x2, inc, then repeat for the rest of the round (32). Then fasten off the yellow yarn and join the orange yarn.
• Round 5: With the orange yarn, sc x3, inc, then repeat for the rest of the round (40). Then fasten off the orange yarn and join the red yarn.
• Fold the rainbow in half with the newly joined red yarn on the bottom right.
• Round 6: Now you are going to crochet the rainbow shut with the red by going through both sides of the circle.
• Note: Because the circle is now cut in half you will have 20 stitches at the beginning of this round and will have 24 at the end.
• For this round sc x4, inc, then repeat for the rest of the round (24). When you get to the end, fasten off the yarn and weave in the tails.

Clouds:

• Flip your rainbow over to the backside. Join the white yarn into the right side of the rainbow in the last sc available in red.
• Ch x2, then make a bobble stitch in the red round (more details on how to make the bobble stitch is below), then sc between the red and orange, make a bobble between the orange and yellow, sc between the yellow and green, make a bobble between the green and blue and a sc between the blue and purple.

  Then fasten off the yarn. The one side of the clouds should have 3 sc and 3 bobble stitches.

  *A bobble stitch is made by yarning over, inserting the hook into the stitch, yarn over, draw loop back through stitch, yarn over pull through 2 loops then STOP. You will have a half completed dc hanging from your hook. Repeat the steps 4 more times in the same stitch until you have 5 half completed dc stitches hanging from your hook and 6 loops ON your hook. Then yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.*
• Rejoin the white yarn to the blue part on the other side of the rainbow (do not flip over, just skip making a bobble stitch in the purple part of the rainbow) And repeat what you did on the other side. Then Fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
• Once all is done, just slip a keyring through one of the crochet red rainbow stitches to attach the keychain and keyring.
• I hope you enjoy the crochet rainbow keychain pattern!
