Crocheting a case for your AirPods Pro is the perfect weekend project—it’s quick, functional, and adds a beautiful, personalized touch to your tech. Not only does a handmade cover protect your charging case from everyday scratches and drops, but it also makes it much easier to find at the bottom of your bag.
Whether you are a beginner looking to practice your rounds or an experienced crafter wanting a quick project, this pattern is designed to be simple and satisfying. Grab your favorite yarn and let’s create something special!
Materials & Tools Needed
- Yarn: Sport weight (fine/2) or light DK cotton yarn is ideal for a snug, low-profile fit.
- Hook: 2.5mm (or a hook size smaller than your yarn label suggests to keep stitches tight and prevent stretching).
- Notions: Yarn needle for weaving ends, stitch marker to track rounds.
- Optional: Small button or bead for embellishment.
Abbreviations & Pattern Notes
- Ch: Chain
- Sc: Single Crochet
- Inc: Increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
- Sl St: Slip Stitch
- Rnd: Round
- Note: Work in continuous spirals. Do not join rounds unless specified. Use your stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round.
Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
- Foundation: Ch 12.
- Rnd 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and next 10 ch. In the last ch, work 3 sc. Turn to work along the opposite side of the foundation chain. Sc in 10 ch, then work 2 sc in the final ch space. (26 total stitches).
- Rnd 2-12: Sc in each stitch around. Keep your tension firm to ensure the case stays snug against the plastic.
- Rnd 13 (The Lid Separation): This is the tricky part! Work sc across only half of your stitches (13 stitches). Ch 1, turn.
- Rnd 14-18: Continue working in rows back and forth on these 13 stitches until the flap reaches the top of the lid.
- Finishing the Flap: On your final row, you may choose to ch 2 and skip a stitch to create a buttonhole if you wish to secure the case.
Finishing & Helpful Tips
- Mind Your Tension: Because AirPods cases are smooth, your crochet cover will be more secure if you use a slightly smaller hook than usual. This keeps the fabric dense and prevents the case from slipping out.
- Check the Fit: Slip your charging case inside periodically as you work. If it feels too loose, don’t hesitate to unravel the last round and add a decrease or two to snug it up.
- Keep it Clean: Using cotton yarn is highly recommended because it is durable and easy to wash. If your case gets dirty, simply hand wash it in cool water and let it air dry.
- Add Texture: Once you master the basic pattern, try using a variegated yarn or adding a small crocheted flower to the front for a custom look that is uniquely yours!
