EOS Lip Balm Crochet Holder
I think I've lost count of how many times I've lost my lip balm and wished I had an EOS Lip Balm Crochet Holder. So I finally created a pattern.
Keep those lips kissable and soft with a lip balm keychain! I’m constantly losing my EOS Lip balms and this is a cute and fun way to keep track of them.

Notes for the Crochet EOS Lip Balm Holder:
Feel free to be creative with colors and styles. Below are two themed options: a heart or watermelon. Or you can also do simple solid colors.
When changing colors, work in the last stitch of current color to the last two loops, yarn over with the new color and pull through two loops. Continue to work in new color
