Next, you will finish the edges of the bridge between the two sections with yellow yarn and an overcast stitch. You can leave your yellow yarn attached after this step and continue to use it for the whip stitch in Step 5.

Insert the ring for key ring or ring with zipper pull so that it is around the bridge.
Fold the two sides together, with wrong sides together.
Whip stitch the edges together. Our whip stitch tutorial will show you how to make this stitch. After whip stitching the edges, weave your yarn in under the stitches and then cut the yarn. The key ring is complete.
