[NeedlecraftPals] CROCHETED EAR-PHONE COVERS

 

Because ear-phones hurt once the foam-rubber padding wears off, I crocheted my 2nd set of little covers or caps for the earphones, Chenille yarn works great for that, or any boucle, bulky or worsted-weight yarn. The sound still comes through and it's just enough of a cushion to be comfortable.  The plastic discs at the ends of the 2nd set of ear-phones have little outer holes all around, so I sewed the 2nd set onto those. The first set I crazy-glued! LOL.  I just picked a hook about a size F to make the stitches tight enough, crocheted a chain of 5, slip-stitched the end into a ring, double-crocheted about 12 stitches around, slip-stitched that together, chained 1, then single crocheted in each double-crochet, slip-stitching that end together, so it forms a circle with a small "lip". I pull the yarn end through and slip-stitch it a couple of times to anchor it. I just used thread to sew them, but you could use thread or a smooth yarn to stitch all around a running stitch, pull the ends to gather it a bit and hold it onto the ear-phone, and then tie it off...or crazy-glue it, lol.

 

I also have this weird, thin, flat chenille yarn in a khaki gold color that's driving me nuts. I picked up and started k1 p1 (knit 1 purl 1) ribbing to lengthen a cotton top, but no matter what I do the yarn loops and leaves holes, so I'm just plowing ahead...it will kind of look like a crazy seed-stitch band. I have 6 bins of yarn so I wanted to use what I had rather than buying more. I've been picking up and working on this thing very sporadically through the summer, and hopefully I can wear it when the weather turns colder. The yarn is a cotton-blend of some kind. There's also a sweater-blouse I started in a baby-weight  boucle yarn, too, basically 2 t-shapes, front and back, put together. This yarn is turquoise to blue and pink hombre, in that range. That's about the extent of needlecrafts I have going right now...Linda H.
