Earbud holder – Free crochet pattern

Whether you’re looking for quick crochet gift ideas or just a little something for yourself, this small crocheted pouch is perfect. The crochet earbud holder is a fast, and not too tricky pattern.

If you are like me, then you are probably always looking for your earbuds. Stashing them in a pretty pouch is a great way to make sure that they won’t get lost.

If you don’t use earphones, there are several different uses for this pouch such as, chapstick holder, key holder, coin holder, fidget spinner holder…just, to name a few!

I hope you like my pattern. If you make it, I would love to see your creation, so please, tag me into your post on Facebook or Instagram. You can find me here:

• R1: MR, 8 B (Blue) SC. Pull the ring together, and continue to work in a spiral. {8}
• R2: Introduce P (Purple) yarn. If you want to see the photo tutorial on how to make the color change, you can find it here: Crochet earrings free pattern – Flower with hearts.

You make 8 INC: PP, BP, PB, PP, BP, BP, PB {16} – (PP means INC with Purple stitches, BP means INC with one Blue and one Purple stitch…)

• R3: *(1 SC P, INC (PP), SC B, INC (PP), SC P, INC (BP), SC P, INC (PB))* x 2 {24}
• R4: *(INC (PP), 2 SC P, INC (BP), 1 SC P, 1 SC B, INC (PP), 1 SC B, 1 SC P, INC (PP), 1 SC P, 1 SC B)* x 2 {32}

• 
• R7: *(2 SC P, 1 SC B, INC (BB), 2 SC P, 1 SC B, 2 SC P, INC (BB),3 SC P, 2 SC B, INC (PP), 1 SC B, 2 SC P,2 SC B, INC (BP), 1 SC P, 1 SC B)* x 2 {56}

Fasten off and wave in the ends.

Here is the graph of the front side:

Backside:

I chose blue Rico Creative Cotton Aran Yarn, but if you want, you can choose purple.

• R1: MR – 8 SC – This time, you don’t work in a spiral, but you chain 1 and turn. {8}
• R2: 8 INC, CH1, turn {16}
• R3: *(INC, SC)* x 8 , CH1, turn {24}
• R4: INC, SC, *(INC, 2 SC)* x 7, SC, CH1, turn {32}
• R5: *(3 SC, INC)* x 8, CH1, turn {40}
• R6: 2SC, INC *(4 SC, INC)* x 7, 2SC, CH1, turn {48}
• R7: *(5 SC, INC)* x 8, CH1, turn, {56}
• R8: 3SC, INC *(6 SC, INC)* x 7, 3SC, CH1, turn {64}
• R9: *( 7 SC, INC)* x 8, SL ST into the chain frm the previous row. {72}

Do not fasten off. Join the front and the backside, make sure the right side is facing you. Now you work SL ST through the back loop of the front and the back loop of the backside. Look at the photo below.

Work the SL ST all the way around. When you come to the end, you chain 6, skip two stitches, and SL ST into the slip stitch of the previous round. FO, and wave in the end. Now all you have to do is fasten the key ring.
