Materials:

• 1 1/2 yards cord of choice
• 1 lanyard hook or keyring
• 79 white pony beads
• 2 black pony beads
• 1 brown pony bead
• 1 red heart-shaped (horizontal hole) pony bead

Special Note:

Idea: You could do this in pink with a white heart bead to make Valentina, as in the photo.

Note: I made a couple of changes to the pattern when I made the sample for the photo. I did only 1 row of beads for the ears (it looked more like rabbit ears before), and since I was using mini pony beads, I reduced row 6 by one bead so it would be the same width as the previous row. I didn’t have a white horizontal-hole heart bead so I used a pink one.
