How To Make Lip Balm Keychain Holder

Just thinking about little fast project.
I've got an idea to make lip balm holder attached to key chain.  It made of varigated cotton thread.

No specific pattern, just go with the shape of lip balm.
2 round at base, then single crochet evenly working in round as long as needed.

First of all, make adjustable ring or ch3, join by slip stitch to first ch to make a ring..
I prefer using this adj. ring instead.






6 single crochet in ring

Pull leaving thread thightly, join with sl st to first sc, first round made









Continue second round, 2 sc in every sc st, join.

Now working sc evenly in round until it fit to the lip balm case, then slip stitch in 2 sc to make it smooth,
Make 6 to 7 chain to attach keychain, slip stitch to previous sc, fasten off. weave end
