Introduction
Welcome back to my channel! In today's video, I'm going to show you how to make a crochet headphone cover. This is part of my mission to cover everything in my room with crochet, and I'm excited to share the process with you. It's also a tutorial, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. So, let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project. Here's a list of what you'll need:
- 3.5mm crochet hook
- Pink yarn
- Neon pink yarn
- Blue yarn
- 4mm crochet hook
- Headphones (to fit the cover on)
- Wire (for the headband)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Now that we have everything we need, let's dive into the crochet process.
Making a Magic Ring
To start the headphone cover, we'll begin by making a magic ring. This will serve as the foundation for the flower shape. If you're not familiar with making a magic ring, don't worry! There are plenty of tutorials available online that can guide you through the process.
Creating the Center of the Flower
Once the magic ring is complete, we'll move on to creating the center of the flower. Using the pink yarn, we'll make 12 half double crochets into the ring. After completing the 12 stitches, we'll pull the ring close and slip stitch the ring to secure it.
Making the Petals
Now it's time to make the petals of the flower. This is where things get a little more intricate. We'll be using a technique called the Boolean stitch, which involves inserting the hook into a loop and yarn over multiple times. I'll provide a link to a tutorial that explains this stitch in detail, as it may be a bit difficult to explain here.
We'll repeat the process of the Boolean stitch around the circle, ensuring that each petal has the same number of loops. Once all the petals are complete, we'll slip stitch to close the round.
Attaching the Petals to the Center
After completing the petals, we'll need to attach them to the center of the flower. We'll use the neon pink yarn for this step. By going underneath the loops of the Boolean stitches, we'll create elongated single crochets. This will give the petals a unique texture.
Adding the Border to the Flower
To give the flower a finished look, we'll add a border using a regular double crochet stitch. This will help secure the petals and create a clean edge. We'll also check if the flower fits properly on the headphones before moving on.
Making the Headband
If you want to add a headband to your headphones, now is the time to do it. Using two yarns together, create a chain that fits comfortably around your head. We'll work rows of double crochets, skipping the first stitch of each row to create a tapering effect.
Attaching the Headband to the Flower
Once the headband is complete, it's time to attach it to the flower. We'll use an invisible stitch to join the headband and the flower. This will ensure a seamless transition between the two pieces.
Covering the Speaker Pieces
Now that the main cover is complete, we'll move on to covering the speaker pieces. By threading the wire through the crochet piece, we can create a snug fit around the speakers. We'll attach the cover using a running stitch along the border, making sure it's secure and tight.
Final Touches and Conclusion
We're almost done! All that's left is to weave in any loose ends and make any final adjustments to ensure everything is neat and tidy. Once complete, step back and admire your beautiful crochet headphone cover. It's a unique and stylish way to personalize your headphones.
