Primary TechniqueCrochet
Yarn Weight(0) Lace (33-40 stitches to 4 inches). Includes crochet thread.
Crochet HookB/1 or 2.25 mm hook
Materials:
- Embroidery floss
- Earbuds
- B crochet hook
Instructions:
- Join first color of embroidery floss onto the base of the ear buds.
- SC onto base of headphones cord.
- A SC should look like this on the cord.
- Keep pushing the stitches together tightly, so the base cord does not show through.
- Crochet as far as you want with the first color. I did about 2 inches of each color.
- You can do this one of two ways: you can SC normally, then randomly twist your work as you go, crocheting snugly or keep twisting as you SC. Slowly turn the base as you’re crocheting to create a twist affect. (I did #2 and twisted to tweak here and there.)
- Join the second color.
- SC another 2 inches (or whatever length you prefer).
- Keep going until you reach where the cord breaks off into the 2 ear buds. I chose not to crochet the earbud cords, so that I can adjust them as needed.
