Stitch a tiny garden you can carry with you using these 7 free herbal keychain embroidery designs! These sweet botanical patterns – chive, oregano, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme, and basil – are perfect for hand-sewing onto 1-inch decorative hoops to make adorable little keychains. They’re quick to work up and super satisfying, even for beginners. Use a 6-inch hoop to fit all the designs as you go, and play with a mix of stem stitch, fishbone, detached chain, and long & short stitches. Try using different shades of green to add depth and texture to each herb. You don’t need a lot of floss – just a few scraps and some creativity.
