Crochet House Keychain & Key Case Pattern

Make a tiny, colorful house to hold your keys. It is a small pouch that hides your keys inside to keep them safe. This stops them from scratching things in your bag. You can use any colors you like and even sew on a tiny door or window to make it look real.
