Variations:
1. As a variation, you could work the front portion (the first 18 rows) as the back portion, omitting a photo to just make it as a wall hanging.
2. Or, you could make 2 keys (using the back portion for the first 18 rows), stuff and make this into a pillow...
Lots of options with this pattern....
Enjoy!!! Share your photos if you decide to make this...
Happy Crocheting....
