Sample 1 in size M
A cute cosy for your keys.
This is the DK version. It's also available in 4ply.
This pattern has three sizes: S(M)L
Most house keys will fit a size medium, but if in doubt size up. If you find you've made one too big, thread a small piece of yarn through the neck so it doesn't slip down and fall off the key.
This is by no means an original design. There are other 'key sweaters' out there but I couldn't find any in DK or with size options so I drafted my own. Enjoy!
