FO (tie off a couple times to secure) and trim/weave in ends. Pull the ch 20 of the body through the hole in the center of the cap, through the lobster claw clasp (or other keychain clasp of your choice), and back through the cap hole, then reinsert your hook into the loop of last ch and sl st to st on the opposite side of the top of the body.
