Here's a super-quick to make little pocket to help keep your wired earbuds wrangled and hopefully less tangled.
I keep a set of wired earbuds near my chair in the living room so they are handy whenever I want to listen to a video on my laptop or phone while my husband is next to me watching TV. That way I can listen to my thing without competing with the sound coming from the TV.
But the problem with wired earbuds is: How do you keep them neatly coiled and out of the way when you aren't using them? I would wrap the wire around my hand into a neat roll, but after I set it down, the wire would inevitably come unrolled and turn into a tangled mess.
So eventually I thought if I crocheted a little pocket to tuck my rolled-up earbuds into, it would hold everything together until I was ready to use them again.
You could make this with just about any yarn or hook size, but I used a worsted weight cotton (Lily Sugar 'n Cream Ombres in the Faded Denim colorway) and a 6mm hook. If you use lighter or heavier yarn, you would need to alter the stitch count to make a pocket that's approximately 2.5 inches in diameter at its widest point.
Setup: I started with a magic circle and worked in a continuous spiral (no joining at the end of rounds).
Row 1: 6 SC in magic circle. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of the rounds and move up when you start each new round. (6 SC)
Row 2: 2 SC in each st around. (12 SC)
Row 3: 2 SC in next st, 1 SC in next st. Repeat around. (18 SC)
Row 4: 2 SC in next st, 1 SC in each of next 2 sts. Repeat around. (24 SC)
Rows 5-6: 1 SC in each st around. (24 SC)
Row 7: Dec SC over next 2 sts, 1 SC in each of next 2 sts. Repeat around. (18 SC)
Row 8: Dec SC over next 2 sts, 1 SC in next st. Repeat around. (12 SC)
Row 9: SC in each st around. (12 SC)
Finishing: Sl in next st. Use an invisible join technique and finish off. Weave in ends. Enjoy your handy little earbuds pocket.
