I think doing a loop and a shaped start works well for keychains.

I see a lot of people do fishbone chevron keychains, and I’ve been kinda looking into doing one. I personally use D-rings for my keychains, so I would just make lark’s headknots on it, and then just do it like normal pattern

@just_mere i was thinking of using D-ring also, but the pattern i’m doing (198572) doesnt have 2 knots in a row of the same colour- how would you get around that for larks head knots? thanks for the tips!

Hmm, I see your issue 🤔 my best guess would be to make “uneven” lark’s head knots. Essentially you make the knot the same, but one string on it is much shorter than the other. The longer one is the one you will be making the actual pattern with. This will allow you to make a larks headknot, but only really get on string sour if it and not two. As for the shorter string, I would say to just leave it hang in the back of the design until you’re done, and then you can cut and glue them to the back of the keychain to your liking. That’s personally how I would do it, but I’m sure there’s other better ways. If you have any questions ask away, I know it’s hard to understand just by an explanation 😅

you could try making a loop and shaped starts and ends like what halowiki said, OR make larks headknot, just that instead of making the knot with each individual string, you make one big knot with all the strings as if they were one 🙂

If you're using a d ring, you can make lark's had knots with the string split in two. Embroidery thread (the kind used for friendship bracelets) is made of 6 individual strands, and is meant to be split so it can have more varied thicknesses, essentially. Split it into two groups of three, tie each of these groups into a lark's head, use each group as one string, and you're set. It's best to split your thread by pulling out one strand at a time, straight up, not to the side.If you're using normal keychains, a normal loop works well, as halokiwi mentioned. |

If you're having trouble splitting your thread, there are embroidery tutorials that explain it. Seeing an example can make it easier.
