Size & Fit Guide
Build up the base around your AirPods case and keep checking the fit as you go up. Keep going until you have a good coverage of the case. Adjust height as needed.
Stitches Utilised
The tutorial walks through simple beginner crochet stitches step by step to create the pouch.
How To Make
Get the Foundation going
Begin by creating the base’s starting section. The pattern is designed small and snug, so it’s useful to compare your crochet piece to your AirPods case early on.
Work Main Part
Once the base is perfect, continue to crochet around to form the body of the pouch. Shape it even and neat so the case fits neatly without being too loose.
Adjust the Size
Test the fit often as you go. If you want a tighter cover, keep your tension tight. If you want a little more room, loosen up a bit and continue until it sits comfortably on you.
Join or Create
When you make the pouch, make sure the sides are symmetrical and that the opening is user-friendly. If the tutorial has a hanging style or finishing section, follow that section to complete the holder.
Edge Finishing
Neaten the top edge, tie off and weave in all ends securely, and the case is ready for daily use.
Helpful Tips
Use a stitch marker to keep track of your position when working in the round. Don’t wait until the end to check the fit, check it often. Try to keep even tension so the pouch does not twist or stretch oddly.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Making the base too big
- Not checking the fit as you go (forgetting to)
- With very loose tension
- Missing the start of the round…
- No Ends Finishing
Ideas for customisation
You could change the colour, add a small loop, make it a little taller or add a simple decorative edge. You can also add a button, bow or tiny charm to make it more personal.
Style Hints
This little case is great for everyday use in your bag, clipped to a pouch or made as a cute handmade gift. It’s also a fun project to go along with a crochet tote or keychain.
How to Care for
If necessary, wash gently in cool water. Damp reshape and lay flat to dry. Do not yank roughly, so the case retains its form.
Time Required
This can take anywhere from a few hours depending on your speed, yarn, size and stitch pattern.
