If you’re totally new to the crochet game, perhaps jump on YouTube
or another online forum to get the basics on starting out, and the
most common types of stitch.
Once you’re ready to roll, chain 4 and slip stitch to form a loop.Round 1: Chain 3, treble 12 times into the loop, and join with a slip
stitch to close the round.Round 2: Chain 3, treble once into the base of that chain, then
treble twice into each stitch of the previous round, joining with
a slip stitch to close.
Round 3: Chain 3, treble once into the base of that chain, then treble
once into the next stitch in the previous round. Treble twice into the
next stitch, then treble once into the next stitch. Follow this one
treble-then-two treble pattern all the way around the circle. Join
with a slip stitch to close.
Round 4: Repeat round 3.
Round 5: At this point, try your circle on one of your headphones.
If it ALMOST fits over, then you can continue to the closing round.
If it needs to be a little bigger, treble ONCE into each stitch until it fits,
then move on to the closing round. (Headphones differ in size a bit, so
make your circle big enough to ALMOST fit over your headphones –
the closing round will cinch them in so everything fits snugly.)Closing round: Chain 1. Follow this pattern around the circle to
‘decrease’ it and make it snug. Pop your hook through the front
loop only of the next two stitches, yarn over, pull through the two
stitches, yarn over again, then pull through all stitches on the hook.
Repeat all the way around the circle, then close with a slip stitch.
Fasten off securely and weave in any loose yarn ends. After that,
it’s time to repeat the process for your other headphone!...................
Optional extras: Thread some yarn onto your needle and weave
in and out of stitches, pulling tight to make your crocheted
headphone muffs stay on more permanently. Weave in any loose
ends neatly afterwards.
You could also add a contrasting round of double crochet
stitches around the edge, or decorate with some pom poms
or cute yarn stitching!muffing it
