How to Crochet a Mini AirPods Bag: A Step-by-Step Guide

Crocheting a mini AirPods bag or airport case is a fun and easy project that can be completed with just a few supplies. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of creating your own mini bag to house your AirPods. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this tutorial is suitable for all skill levels.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather the materials you'll need for this project:

• Yarn
• 2.5mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Darning needle

Now that we have everything we need, let's get started!

Step 1: Making the Magic Ring

To start, we will create a magic ring. This ring will serve as the foundation for our bag. To make the magic ring, follow these steps:

1. Take the end of your yarn and create a loop.
2. Insert your crochet hook through the loop.
3. Chain three stitches.
4. Begin making 15 double crochet stitches inside the magic ring.

Once you have completed 15 double crochet stitches, pull the string to close the circle. Make a slip stitch into the first double crochet to secure it. Cut off any excess yarn.

Step 2: Double Crochet Increasing

Now that we have our magic ring, we will move on to increasing the number of double crochet stitches. Follow these steps:

1. Change your yarn color by tying a knot and securing it in the first double crochet stitch.
2. Chain two stitches.
3. Make two double crochet stitches into the same stitch.
4. Repeat the process of making two double crochet stitches into each stitch until you reach the end of the row. By the end of this row, you should have 30 stitches in total.

Continue making these increases until you reach the desired width for your bag.

Step 3: Half Double Crochet and Triple Crochet

In this step, we will introduce half double crochet and triple crochet stitches to add texture and depth to our bag. Follow these steps:

1. Make a slip stitch into the first double crochet stitch of the previous row.
2. Make a half double crochet stitch into the next stitch.
3. Make two double crochet stitches into the same stitch.
4. Make one triple crochet stitch into the next stitch.
5. Make another triple crochet stitch into the same stitch.
6. Repeat this pattern: two double crochet stitches, one half double crochet stitch, two double crochet stitches, two triple crochet stitches (into separate stitches).

Continue repeating this pattern until you reach the end of the row, making sure to end with a slip stitch.

Step 4: Repeat the Pattern

This step involves repeating the pattern established in Step 3. Follow these steps:

1. Make a slip stitch into the first double crochet stitch of the previous row.
2. Make a half double crochet stitch into the next stitch.
3. Make two double crochet stitches into the same stitch.
4. Make two triple crochet stitches (into separate stitches).
5. Repeat the pattern: two double crochet stitches, one half double crochet stitch, two double crochet stitches, two triple crochet stitches.

Continue repeating this pattern until you reach the end of the row, ending with a slip stitch.

Step 5: Single Crochet and Slip Stitch

In this step, we will incorporate single crochet and slip stitch stitches to create the body of our bag. Follow these steps:

1. Make a slip stitch into the first stitch of the previous row.
2. Make a single crochet stitch into the next stitch.
3. Make one half double crochet stitch.
4. Make two double crochet stitches into each of the next four stitches.
5. Make one half double crochet stitch.
6. Make one single crochet stitch.
7. Make a slip stitch.

Repeat this pattern until you reach the desired height for your bag.

Step 6: Row Five and Joining Panels

In this step, we will work on row five and join the two panels of our bag together. Follow these steps:

1. Make a single crochet into the second stitch of the previous row.
2. Skip one single crochet stitch.
3. Make one single crochet stitch into the next stitch.
4. Make two single crochet stitches into each of the next eight stitches.
5. Make one single crochet stitch into the next stitch.
6. Leave one stitch empty and make a single crochet stitch into the next stitch.
7. Continue making two single crochet stitches into each of the next eight stitches.
8. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row, ending with a slip stitch.

Step 7: Chain Fifty and Finish

In the final step, we will chain fifty and finish our bag. Follow these steps:

1. After completing row five, make a slip stitch into the same stitch.
2. Chain five stitches.
3. Make a slip stitch.
4. Chain one stitch.
5. Cut off the yarn and hide it using a darning needle.

Repeat the same process with the second panel, chaining fifty stitches. Once both panels are complete, join them together by aligning the edges and using a slip stitch.

Congratulations! Your mini AirPods bag is now ready for use. You can simply use it as an accessory or hang it on your backpack for convenience.
