After I'd made this stunning rainbow stationery clip topper, I got an order to make a few key chains.. and then some more ;)
So in case you decide to make this into a stationery clip topper, you work the full pattern as given, and then attach it from the back of the motif onto the stationery clip.
In case you decide to make this a key chain then you could work the full pattern and finally attach onto the key chain ring, but I prefer to attach it as I am working that last row. So what I do is find that centre stitch from the last row, and place a marker. I work the pattern as given till that marker, and then work 2 sc in that marked stitch (from stitch into key ring and back into stitch) and then continue with pattern all the way to the end.
