RAINBOW LANYARD & CLOUD | Free crochet pattern

It’s BACK TO SCHOOL times! This is my first year when I’m not going back to school… For 16 years I’ve been studying and I must say it feels kind of weird not going back to this familiar thing called school. Instead I’m throwing myself into a new unfamiliar work environment. Scary!! Working or studying, either way we all need someone to keep us company that scary first day, like this little cute cloud key chain with a rainbow lanyard! In this blog post I'll share with you a free crochet pattern for this cute rainbow lanyard and cloud.
