Double-sided Watermelonia Flag Keyring Crochet Pattern

I created this pattern for you to put on your keys and show your support! I made my first flag a few weeks ago and loved it so much I knew I needed to make more. I'm part of a local solidarity movement (as this cause is very close to my heart) and we recently sold these at an Open Mic to raise money. They were flying off the shelves like hot cakes along with the Watermelon Brooches .  You are very welcome to sell your own versions of this if you are donating the money to people in need. You will need: 3.25mm hook (or similar) 5g each DK yarn in green, red, black and white (or other suitable yarn for your hook) Tapestry needle Top tip for seamless colour changes: Before the final [yarn over, pull through] change to the next colour.

Follow the chart to the end of the row, ch1, turn work, sc in t...
