Introduction

In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating your own personalized AirPods case. This case features a pouch design that is convenient for carrying in your bag, and it also includes cute embroidered puppy faces. However, if you prefer a different design, I will show you how to customize it to your liking. With just a few materials and some basic crochet skills, you can create a unique and stylish case for your AirPods.

Materials Needed

Before we start crocheting, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. Here's a list of items you'll need:

1. Thick acrylic knitting thread in your desired colors (e.g., ivory and milk tea beige)
2. Black thread for embroidering the puppy's face
3. 3.5mm crochet hook
4. Thinner crochet hook for making the straps
5. Matting needle
6. Scissors
7. AirPods (1st generation, 3rd generation, or Pro)

Make sure you have all these materials ready before we dive into the crochet process. Once you have everything, we can move on to the next step.

Starting the Crochet

To begin crocheting the AirPods case, we will first create a foundation chain. Leave a small amount of extra space when starting to crochet. Using the milk tea beige thread (or your preferred color), make seven chain stitches. Then, create a circle by joining the last chain stitch to the first one with a slip stitch.

Next, make one chain stitch and work a single crochet stitch into the same spot as the chain stitch. Continue working one single crochet stitch into each stitch around the circle. After the seventh stitch, add three more stitches to the seventh stitch. Then, work one single crochet stitch into the next stitch and two single crochet stitches into the following stitch. Repeat this pattern until you have a total of 22 stitches.

Making the Main Body

Once you have 22 stitches, continue crocheting in rounds using the single crochet stitch. Make one chain stitch and work one single crochet stitch into each stitch around. Repeat this process for a total of nine rows. This will create the main body of the AirPods case.

Creating the Straps

After completing the nine rows, it's time to make the straps for the case. To do this, we will use a double crochet stitch and chain stitches. Start by making four chain stitches. Skip one stitch and work a double crochet stitch into the next stitch. Continue this pattern to create a square shape that extends one square long. Repeat this process three more times, creating a total of four squares without the chain stitches.

Next, create two double crochet stitches in a row, followed by four single crochet stitches. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row. Finish the strap by making a slip stitch into the first chain stitch. Repeat the same steps to create the second strap.

Finishing Touches and Embroidery

Now that the main body and straps are complete, it's time to add some finishing touches and embroidery details. Use a matting needle to hide any loose threads and secure the stitches on the inside of the case. Then, thread the matting needle with the black thread and embroider the puppy's face on the front of the case. You can customize the face to your liking and even add other designs if desired.

Customization Options

If you prefer a different design instead of the puppy's face, you can easily customize your AirPods case. You can embroider other images or patterns onto the case, or even use different colors of thread to create unique designs. Get creative and make the case truly reflect your personal style.
