Back of the alphas can look really funny, and I don't like that when making a keychain. Do you have any tips?

Maybe try stitching a cloth over it? That's what I am doing because I am too lazy to do a two sided bracelet. 😄

You could also make a double sided keychain. You basically make two halves and then you put the two halves together back to back

Here’s a video tutorial for a double sided keychain, if you don’t want the back to show. https://youtu.be/KciljDh-1Ko

Try making two versions of the pattern sew them together. Be careful and ask someone for help when sewing them.

You can make a double sided keychain or you can sew a piece of old cloth or clothing to the back of it. Happy knotting!

I made a bunch of name keychains as gifts and used felt glue to adhere pieces of felt to the back. It seems to be holding well!

You could also do a two tone alpha, where the back and the front is the same, though this does mean you're limited to two colours

you can try making a reversed version of the alpha, adding a couple blank rows and then making the regular pattern! then, you could fold that entire long alpha in half over the keychain and sew the bottom together! i think mashaknots showed off a keychain like that in her alpha progress video for reference! it's a bit time consuming but an easy way to get a nice looking alpha on both sides!
