Step 1: Making the Base

To make the mushroom AirPods case, you will need two different colors of double knit yarn, an AirPods case, a three-millimeter hook, a tapestry needle, and some scissors. Start by making the base of the case using the white yarn. Create a slip knot and make a chain of ten. Instead of single crocheting into each chain across, you will single crochet into the back bumps of each chain. Continue single crocheting into the back bumps until you reach the end, and then make another single crochet into the same spot to make an increase. By the end of this step, you should have 20 stitches in total.

Step 2: Increasing the Stitches

In this step, you will continue increasing the number of stitches in each round. Start by chaining one and single crocheting into the same spot as the chain. Single crochet into the next nine stitches. When you reach the tenth stitch, make another increase. Repeat this pattern of single crocheting into the next ten stitches and making an increase in the tenth stitch until you reach the end of the round. By the end of this step, you should have 22 stitches in total.

Step 3: Continuing the Increases

Now, you will repeat the process of increasing stitches for three more rounds. Chain one and single crochet into the next 11 stitches. Make an increase in the eleventh stitch. Single crochet into the next eleven stitches and make another increase in the eleventh stitch. By the end of this step, you should have finished four rounds of increasing stitches.

Step 4: Single Crocheting Rows

In this step, you will continue to single crochet without increasing. Chain one and single crochet into each stitch all the way around. Repeat this process for several more rows until the case reaches the desired height. This section will form the main body of the mushroom AirPods case.

Step 5: Adding White Spots

To give the mushroom AirPods case a unique design, you can add white spots using a different colored yarn. Cut a long piece of white yarn and tie a knot at one end. Using a tapestry needle, start from the inside of the case and come out at the desired spot for the white spot. Create a V shape by going into a section directly above and to the left, then back into the original spot. Repeat this process to make more spots as desired.

Step 6: Sewing the Case

Once you have completed the main body of the case, it's time to sew the edges together. Tuck the yarn tail on the inside of the case and line up the bottom and top parts of the case. Using a tapestry needle and the same colored yarn as the case, start sewing from one side by weaving the needle through the side stitch and bringing it out to the desired spot. Use the mattress stitch to create an invisible seam by going into the stitch directly below, then up into the one directly above, and repeating this pattern until you reach the end. Fasten off the yarn and tuck any remaining tails on the inside of the case.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a sweet mushroom AirPods case. This unique accessory will not only protect your AirPods but also showcase your crochet skills. Feel free to experiment with different colors and designs to make it truly personalized.
