Earbud Cozy

Or, my co-worker has found it to be the perfect size to hold a Secure ID token (Shiva) card. LOL! I'm going to alter the pattern also to make one with a pouch on front to hold business cards.

It's simple, but hey, it's the first pattern I have designed by myself from scratch! :)


There are patterns for pouches for your cellphone, your MP3 player, and a cozy for just about everything else, but I wanted a safe and cozy place to store my nice earbuds! Never seen a pattern for something like this, so I grabbed some yarn and a hook and sat down. Here it is, the result of trying it out.

Chain 10.
SC across, turn, chain 1.
Repeat until you have 20 rows.
Without breaking the yarn, chain about 17.
Turn and SC back across the chain. Slip-stitch the chain into a ring, then SC the end onto the edge of the work.
Continue working 4 more rows of SC now, working back across the main part of the work.
At the end, fold the work over so that the top flap portion (the last 4 rows above your loop) extends up in position.
Now, slip-stitch your way around the work , stitching the 2 sides together once you reach where they overlap.
Stitch all the way around until you meet where your slip-stitches began, then finish it off.

I chose to sew on some velcro to close it, but you could use snaps or a button if you like.

A snap on each edge helps ensure the flap won't stretch open when you attach the loop to something, etc. (I just hate hand-sewing so they're not as sturdy for me as the velcro machine-sewed in, LOL.)

Instead of making the loop, you also might opt to attach a clasp like these which I found at Wal-Mart, instead -


This pic is not of a particularly good pouch, nor is it a finished item, but here's one example of a hook sewn right in :)
