How to Crochet a Cute AirPods Case for AirPods Pro

Did you recently get your hands on a pair of AirPods Pro and want to keep them protected in style? Look no further! In this tutorial, I'll guide you step-by-step on how to crochet a super cute and easy case for your AirPods Pro. Not only will this case keep your earbuds safe, but it also adds a touch of personal flair. So grab your crochet hook and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you'll need for this project. Here's a quick checklist:

1. Aunt Lydia's Crochet Thread (or thick embroidery thread)
2. Crochet hook (3.5 to 3.75mm recommended, but you can choose a smaller size for tighter stitches)
3. Button
4. Scissors
5. Needle (for weaving in ends)
6. Optional: Frilly thread or ribbon for decorative touch

Choosing the Right Yarn or Thread

When it comes to choosing the yarn or thread for your AirPods Pro case, it's important to consider the thickness. Aunt Lydia's Crochet Thread is recommended for this project, but if you can't find it, you can use thick embroidery thread as an alternative. The thinness of the thread ensures that the stitches are small and tight, providing a snug fit for your AirPods Pro.

Selecting the Right Hook Size

While the recommended hook size for this project is 3.5 to 3.75mm, you can choose a smaller hook size if you prefer tighter stitches. A smaller hook creates a more secure and durable case, especially for a project of this small size.

Starting the Project: Making the Base

To begin crocheting the case, we'll start by making the base. Start with 15 chains, ensuring that the length of your chains is approximately the same as the bottom of your AirPods Pro. In the second chain from your hook, place three single crochets. Continue placing one single crochet in each of the next 12 chains. For the last chain, place three single crochets. Crochet 12 single crochets into the bottom of the single crochets you just made to complete the first row.

Creating the Side Walls

Once the base is complete, it's time to create the side walls of the case. Simply crochet around the edges, placing one single crochet in each stitch. Repeat this process for approximately 20 rows, or until you achieve the desired height for your case. The number of rows may vary depending on the yarn or thread you're using.

Adding the Drawstring Closure

To ensure a secure closure for your AirPods Pro case, we'll add a drawstring. Start by crocheting a chain of 45. Then, place one double crochet in the second chain from your hook. Continue placing one double crochet in each chain until you have four chains left. Skip two chains and place a double crochet in the third chain from your hook. Place another double crochet in the last chain. This creates the strap for the drawstring.

Making the Strap

Now that the drawstring closure is complete, let's make the strap that will hold the case together. Take three threads and braid them together. Tie a knot at the end to secure the braid, and add a decorative frill if desired. Weave the strap back and forth at the top of the case to create a drawstring effect.

Adding a Button for Closure

To add a button for closure, select a button of your choice and sew it onto the case. You can place the button anywhere on the case, but placing it on the side allows for a nice hanging effect. The holes created by skipping two chains earlier will serve as attachment points for the button.

Finishing Touches and Customizations

Once you've completed the main steps, take some time to add your personal touch to the case. You can experiment with different colors, stitches, or even add decorative elements like beads or charms. Get creative and make it uniquely yours!

Conclusion
