Space between legs – whip stitch closed through the outside loops of each stitch using the long tail left at the beginning of the second leg.

For the first leg – use darning needle to thread through outside loops of remaining 5 stitchs and pull tight. Weave yarn up to the middle of back do not cut yarn yet. (photo H).
For the second leg – use darning needle to thread through outside loops of remaining 5 stitches and pull tight. Weave yarn up to of head. Pull yarn through keychain then weave back through middle of head down to middle of back where the first leg yarn strand is. Tie the two strands together in a triple knot.
This will keep the keychain secure. Trim any excess and use needle to hide yarn in body. (photo J&K).
