It’s coffee season! I love all the yummy fall flavors that are in stores this time of year. So when Yarnspirations sent me a ball of had to make something!
Yes, I’ve been using this new yarn a lot lately and I can’t get enough of it!
But this project is a little different. No need to fiddle around trying to make a granny square. Crochet normally with the yarn and magically with every pre-set 5 color changes, you can make an espresso cup keychain! So that means that instead of one granny square, you can make one keychain with the pre-set color changes that are worked right into the yarn. That is 14 espresso keychains from one ball of All-in-One Granny Square yarn!
The tiny cup of coffee has a built-in saucer! Such a fun make for all of you coffee lovers!

– 1 ball of Red Heart All-in-One Granny Square Yarn in color Espresso
