Easy Crochet Braided Keychain ~faux macrame!

I decided to try and use the braided concept I used for my Macrochet Mini Planters to make a little keychain, and I think they came out really cute! They look like macramé knots but they are simple single crochet stitches. They take very little by way of supplies and are SUPER fast to make. They would make a great little vendor market item for the warmer months or a nice small gift!
