Reksio – Keychain
INFO:
Reksio is a character from the old Polish cartoon, I guess is Jack Russel Terrier (-ish) dog for
the rest of the world ;) For us, Polish, he is a great sentimental childhood symbol.
This pattern is meant for beginners. You can use whatever yarn you want, you will need a few
colours – white, orange and a little bit of black. Also, safety eyes, size 4-6mm, and keychain base will
be useful. My Reksio was made with YarnArt Jeans and it’s about 13cm (10,5 in.) high with ears.
I would love to see your works, you can show me them on my Facebook group “OrlicaCraft
Designs” (here you can also find some help or see my other patterns) or just tag me while publishing
your picture.
This pattern is free and available to download only via my blog OrlicaCraft.blogspot.com – let
me know, if you reached it another way.
Happy Crocheting!
