Quarter Keeper Keychain Crochet Tutorial

[@smidgentigre]

One thing I learned from my dad is to use dental floss, doubled, for sewing on buttons. He learned this in the navy. (WWII Navy Air) Dental floss is stronger than thread & holds up longer in wet situations, too. Dad was a 17 year old enlisted young man who had to learn to sew quickly! LOL! He learned this from his ‘old’ superior officer, who was 22. 😂 Dad passed on in June 1999 from cancer. A man gone long before his time. 😢 He was the best dad ever! ❤

[@gr8fullife151]

My condolences to you. My parents have passed on to and I miss them dearly. May you find some peace in your memories and the lessons your Dad left you with. 🙏💙🙏 Thanks for the dental floss tip, I will forever use it whenever sewing buttons.

[@matildarei]

What a sweet tribute to your father, and thank you for a great sewing tip! 💕

[@JaydaInStitches]

A great tip from a very beloved man, thank you for sharing 💗

[@sharon742p]

Great tip. I'm going to use it. 😃

[@lindapb6529]

Very cute☺ Reminds me of a tooth holder as we await the arrival of the toothfairy 🧚‍♀

[@vbrooker1]

Great idea!

[@JaydaInStitches]

What a cute idea!

[@kathywelch8722]

This is a great tiny project. There are some grocery stores that require a quarter to get a shopping cart so this a great idea. Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏🏻

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kathy! Thank you for watching 😊

[@brooklyn7722]

That is so tiny, and so adorable. I love the idea of putting your rings in it when working -out at the gym

[@dawnbaker9274]

Good idea!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you! 😊

[@eleanorferrier807]

❤i call it grocery store buggy holder which you need quarter & loonie depends on store to use buggy great idea thanks

[@eleanorferrier807]

❤I make it bit bigger for loonie great for migraine pill and weed edible love idea thanks

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching Eleanor! 😊

[@valferguson8322]

Hey Jayda, not only good at a gym, but doing dishes or at the bathroom sink for your rings… Thanks! ❤️

[@JaydaInStitches]

SO true!

[@dianek5602]

Thanks I shop at aldi a lot

[@JaydaInStitches]

Perfect!

[@mariamorley8812]

Jayda, you think about everything even the smallest item🧶

[@JaydaInStitches]

💗 It was a requested item! I like coming up with solutions for things 😊

[@matildarei]

I just mailed a few of these to a cousin and her kids - and they couldn’t believe how cute the keychains were! 💕 Thank you, Jayda, for bringing joy not only to your fan base, but to the recipients down the road as well. 💕💕💕

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Matilda! That's wonderful! I'm so happy to know they were such a hit 😊

[@matildarei]

This would also be a sweet little gift pouch for a necklace or earrings. I used to work with really greasy food and would need a spot to hold my wedding ring till I left; this little holder would have been a lifesaver! If you make it a bit longer, it could hold chapstick or a roll of currency. Really fun little project! Thank you, Jayda! 💕

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Matilda! I agree 😊

[@dawnbaker9274]

More stocking stuffers!😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

Great idea!

Jayda!!!! I really need a little pouch for my rings. Great idea!!!!

Hi Gioia! I can't stand it when they get lost in my purse, I think I've actually LOST them!

[@kerripedersen9542]

Oh, that is so cute! I need a quarter for one of the grocery stores I go to, so this is perfect. Thank you, Jayda!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Fantastic! Thank you for watching Kerri 😊

[@kathygraham1980]

Call Jada what a great idea. Airfare for handicapped transportation riders is $2.50, this looks large enough tall two quarters. So what a great idea I will try and make one for each one of my friends.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kathy! That's a great idea! I think this should fit a couple of quarters, but if not, add 1 more chain/stitch to the row and possibly 1 more row 💗

[@HenEstateHomestead]

This is perfect for when I go shopping at Aldi. Thank you!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Fantastic! Thank you for watching 😊

[@Claudia-xs1fl]

This is absolutely adorable. You come up with the most adorable items. Thank you. Hi Mr. InStitches.

Thank you Claudia! I enjoy trying to find solutions for things people ask for 💗

[@GrammyJones]

I’m grateful for this tutorial!

[@CharlieOkeson]

How perfect is your timing!; Walmart just brought back the locked buggies... it's a Loonie, but this will work. I have a bad back and have been forced to drag around those tiny wheeled baskets, trying to fit in paper towel and such because there was no warning to bring a buck.😮😊I'm an outdoorsy Tom boy, and I don't carry a purse. Thank you for this Jayda dahlink 🤗👍🇨🇦✌️

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Charlie! You could likely clip this to your key ring or even belt. I went through a phase where I wanted everything clipped to my belt... occasionally I still do 😁 I like to be hands free!! I think this should fit a loonie, but if not, add 1 more chain/stitch to the row and possibly 1 more row 💗

[@kathypool3990]

Cute! I have so many buttons I can choose from.

[@JaydaInStitches]

It's nice to be able to use some of them! My collection of buttons keeps growing 😂

This is great. It would really help me to not accidentally spend my designated shopping cart quarter 😂

[@smidgentigre]

I have the same issue with the designated quarter! 😂 It never speaks up & tells me it’s the Aldi Quarter. 😆🙄😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

* giggle * I tend to spend my change too, I don't want it "weighing me down" 😂

Oooh! Jayda! This is so awesome! I've been thinking about trying to come up with a pattern for a quarter keeper! You can buy them at Aldi but they're like $2 a piece and not as well made. Thank you for this! I make key chain lip balm holders too. This quarter keeper will be a great addition to my key chain! 😊 Now I can go get your pattern!

Fantastic! Thank you for watching and for your support Jennifer! 💗

[@Court-And-Crime-With-Tia]

This is soooo cute❤

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@mandeehusky]

I made one without a pattern but it was to quiet my dog's tags. Only changes were the ring was one that was a lanyard latch that was able to rotate freely. I opted for a smaller button in case my Husky tried to eat it. I know his personality with clothing and things on his collar but you can never be too safe with animals.

[@JaydaInStitches]

What a good idea!

[@ElleThe1andOnly]

Aldi’s in the US and Lidl, in the Netherlands and some ASDA, Tesco and Marks and Spencer groceries in the UK have carts with quarter slots to keep the carts in the corrals ❤

[@JaydaInStitches]

I think it's a good practice, certainly it must help make people want to return the carts!

[@ElleThe1andOnly]

@@JaydaInStitches I believe it helps the cashiers/stockers get paid higher (around 19-20 dollars per hour) because they don’t have to pay people to clear the parking lots. Good for everyone 😊

[@sharonfarlow6379]

Our 1 and 2 dollar coins would fit in them too. ❤from Australia, thank you

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Sharon! Perfect! If it doesn't quite fit, add 1 more chain/stitch to the row and possibly 1 more row 💗

Very cute Jayda I’m assuming it will fit an English pound too ? Thank you , Amanda xx💞

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Amanda! This little keeper is about 2.5 cm square. I am unfamiliar with the size of a British Pound, but if you need it to be larger, add 1 more chain/stitch to the row and possibly 1 more row 💗

Have you ever crocheted with a fine hemp cord? I have - dog leashes etc - and i thonk it would be great for this project.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! If it's strong (and hemp usually is) then that would be great! If the hemp isn't a thick enough yarn (to match this size 4 weight) then you can add more stitches to the row and more rows to the project 💗

Cute.... wonder how big is a quarter🤔.... different currency here

[@JaydaInStitches]

This works out to be 2.5 cm square (with a little give) so if your coin/ring/earrings fits inside that measurement it should work 💗

[@virginiact2974]

🥰🤩😍 Divino! 🤍❤️🤍

[@ninat.3767]

Lovely mini project. Thank you! What size is your quarter? We have euros.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Nina, this is about 2.5 cm square, so if your Euro fits in that, perfect. If not: add 1 more chain/stitch to the row and possibly 1 more row 💗

[@karenblake6822]

Hello, I was wondering what type of cotton you would use for bath puffs. I have tried to make three and they were a 100% cotton but they don't bubble up when you use your shower gel. Please can you help. Thank you Karen in England

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Karen, I tried 2 different styles of cotton, one of them was part scrubby/part smooth and the other was all smooth. Not mercerized, but soft. They operate more like face cloths if you use gel: soft with a little sudsing. I find they suds up more if you use bar soap.

[@karenblake6822]

Thank you Jayda I will give it another try and let you know how I get on. Love watching you tutorials. Karen from Colchester in England

[@cherylsokolik3663]

Would Velcro work good on this instead of using a button?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Absolutely! I think you can Velcro that glues on and Velcro that is sewn on. In the interest of it being more permanent, I would recommend the Velcro that is sewn on😊

[@kathypool3990]

I was wondering how you were going to get the key ring on.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Sneaky crochet 😁

[@chrissy_matia]

Can someone please recommend a yarn brand for this project, thank you

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Chrissy, I used 24/7 cotton by lion brand. It's strong, smooth, won't pill and is washable (not to mention it comes in a ton of pretty colours too) 😊
