A good friend of mine enthusiastically phone me in the middle of the afternoon, requesting to crochet a case for her brand new AirPods. I’m happily agreed to make her one and decided to record the pattern.
She desired for a cute case, which she was inspired from crochet images that she found in her Instagram account. She wanted to have a practical case that has hole in between of charging port, easy to open cover case with cute flower on top and add a sweet flower keychain at side.
I’m proposing her case to be made from lace yarns with pastel color of blue and cream for the case and light pink for flowers. I used snap button to close and open the case cover.
The crochet case is a beginner friendly project which mainly uses half double crochet (US). Perfect for beginner who want quick and easy make.

Easy.
Measurement:
The finished item can fit Apple AirPods Pro (1st Gen) size. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) is 1.78″ x 2.39″ x 0.85″
