BEST YARN FOR THE PROJECT
Cotton yarn is a good choice because it makes a firm, neat holder which holds its shape well. Acrylic yarn works too if you want a softer finish.
SKILL LEVEL
Good for beginners.
SIZE & FIT GUIDE
Crochet using your AirPod case as a template. Make the holder tight enough so the case will not slip out but not so tight it’s difficult to remove. Adjust width and height to fit your own case style.
STITCHES EMPLOYED
- Chain
- Single crochet (sc)
- Slip stitch (sl st)
HOW TO PREPARE IT
Begin the Foundation
Start with a small base that wraps around the bottom of your AirPod case. Keep stitches even for a neat base.
Main Pouch Work
Continue crocheting to make the pouch shape. Check the fit regularly by inserting the AirPod case.
Change the Size
If the holder is too loose, tighten tension or reduce the base slightly. If too tight, add width or loosen stitches.
Form the Opening
Leave the top open enough so the AirPod case slides in and out easily. It should fit snugly around the case.
Add the Hanging Loop
Crochet a small loop or attach a keychain ring at the top. Ensure it is strong enough to support the weight when attached to a bag or keys.
Complete the Holder
Fasten off and weave in ends securely. Shape the pouch and check that the AirPod case fits snugly.
HELPFUL HINTS
- Test fit frequently as you crochet.
- Tighten tension for a sturdy holder.
- Use a stitch marker if working in rounds.
- Weave in ends well to prevent unraveling.
COMMON PITFALLS TO AVOID
- Pouch too loose or too tight
- Forgetting to test fit as you go
- Attaching the keyring to a fragile spot
- Leaving yarn ends unsecured
IDEAS FOR CUSTOMISATION
Try stripes, color blocking, bows, flower appliqués, buttons, or contrasting edging. You can also make a longer loop for hanging lower from a bag.
STYLE IDEAS
Attach to keys, handbags, backpacks, totes, or pencil pouches. Makes a sweet handmade gift for friends, students, or coworkers.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Handwash in cool water if needed. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid pulling hard on the loop or clasp.
TIME REQUIRED
A few hours depending on speed, yarn, size, and stitch pattern.
