VIDEO: A key ring with a loom - this is how a smiley can be created

Tie the key ring as a smiley 

1. First, make the eyes for the smiley face. To do this, wrap a black ring around the needle four times and pull a yellow ring through it.
2. Lay your loom in front of you with the tenons offset, the openings facing away from you.
3. In the first round you always tighten 2 rings. You start to stretch the rings for your smiley crossed from the first left peg diagonally to the second right peg. The cross is in front of the central peg. Clamp the rings mirror-like from the first right to the second left peg. Then tighten the rings from the first middle to the third middle peg. Make sure that the cross is always in front of the center peg of the circle.
4. Now place a total of six individual rings around the outer pegs that are occupied.
5. Now pull the two lower rings on each peg from the outside over the peg inwards.
