How to Crochet an AirPods Gnome Case

Are you tired of your AirPods getting lost or scratched in your bag? Why not make a cute gnome case to keep them safe and stylish? In this tutorial, I will show you step by step how to crochet an adorable AirPods gnome case using simple crochet techniques. Get your yarn and crochet hook ready, and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, gather the following materials:

• Dark purple yarn for the base part
• Bright purple yarn for the top part and nose
• Crochet hook (size may vary depending on the thickness of the yarn)
• Scissors
• Stitch marker (optional)
• Wire (optional, for adding structure to the top part)

Crocheting the Base Part

3.1 Choosing the Yarn

For the base part of the gnome case, we will use dark purple yarn. I recommend using yarn art jeans dark and bright for a soft and durable finish. The dark purple yarn will give a nice contrast to the bright purple top part.

3.2 Making the First Chain

To start crocheting the base part, make a chain of 13 single crochets using the dark purple yarn. Turn your work and start crocheting from the second chain of the hook.

3.3 Crocheting the Single Crochets

Make five single crochets from the second chain. Then, chain two and skip the next two single crochets. Slip stitch into the third single crochet, chain one, and continue with one single crochet, two single crochets, and three single crochets. On the last stitch, make three single crochets.

3.4 Increasing the Stitches

Continue crocheting single crochets in each single crochet on this side only. Hide the yarn by cutting it and continue crocheting for a total of 26 single crochets around. Make nine rounds (rows) with 26 single crochets in each row.

Crocheting the Top Part

4.1 Using Dark Purple Yarn

For the top part of the gnome case, switch to dark purple yarn. Start with a magic ring and make six single crochets into the ring.

4.2 Magic Ring Technique

To create the magic ring, hold the end of the yarn and make a loop. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a slip knot. Crochet the desired number of stitches into the ring, and then pull the loose end of the yarn to close the ring.

4.3 Increasing the Stitches

After making six single crochets in the magic ring, continue with one increase and five single crochets. Repeat this pattern until you have 12 single crochets in the row.

4.4 Making the Nose

To make the nose, start with a magic ring and make six single crochets into the ring. Increase all six single crochets to have 12 single crochets at the end of the row. Make two rows of single crochets around. Then, decrease six stitches and slip stitch to finish the nose.

Sewing the Parts Together

To assemble the gnome case, sew the top part and the base part together using a needle and bright purple yarn. Sew 10 stitches in every part together, pulling the needle through the opposite stitches. Cut the yarn and secure it.

Adding a Chain Strap

To add a chain strap, make a chain of 10 stitches using bright purple yarn. Skip two single crochets and slip stitch into the third single crochet. Cut the yarn and attach the chain strap to the top part.
