Mini BTS ARMY ver 3 lightstick keychain

 

Following the BINI lightstick, I decided to make my favorite BTS lightstick (and the first I ever owned), version 3!

Materials:

G hook (4.25 mm)

Scissors

Yarn needle

WW yarn in (sparkly) white, black, and red

Polyester fiberfill

Keyring

 

Notes:

• Gauge isn't that important, just so long as your stitches are tight so that the stuffing won't show or fall out.

• The (parentheses) at the end of each Rnd/Row indicate the number of stitches at the end of that Rnd/Row.
• I work in continuous rounds (aka spiral rounds), but if you prefer to join at the end of each round that's fine. I also decrease in front loops only because I've heard that it makes the decrease stitch less visible.
• If you don't know what a Magic Ring is don't panic! It's also called Magic Loop or Magic Circle. Here's an alternative: If the pattern says 6 sc in Magic Ring you can ch 2 and 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook and join stitches. I prefer working with a Magic Ring because you can pull it as tight as you want so that the stuffing won't show. Most people I have tried to teach the Magic Ring to throw their crochet hooks and yarn on the floor in a huffy, but I myself find it fairly easy depending on how many stitches are in it. If you'd like to learn how to make one I found THIS LINK very helpful. The only person I've had success with teaching is my sister. Just use whatever you feel most comfortable using.

 

I used the following terms in this pattern: sc (single crochet), F/O (fasten off), MR (Magic Ring), inc (2 sc in next sc), and dec (decrease over next two stitches).

Mini Kpop Lightstick Keychain

Someone posted a photo of a kpop lightstick on Facebook and asked if anyone had a pattern. Being a huge kpop fan myself, I had to take myself up on the challenge, so I made a pattern for it! It can be altered to make other kpop lightsticks, but so far this is the only one I've made.

Materials:

G hook (4.25 mm)

Scissors

Yarn needle

WW yarn in (sparkly) white and blue

Polyester fiberfill

Keyring
