Pattern Instructions

1. Bottom Portion of the Frog Case

Step 1: Start the Base

1. Begin by creating a slip knot and chain 10 stitches.
   (If required, adjust the chain length to fit your earbuds case—add or subtract stitches for larger or smaller sizes.)
2. Add 1 extra chain, making a total of 11 chains.

Step 2: Work the First Side

1. Skip the first chain (nearest the hook).
2. Single crochet (sc) into the second chain and place a stitch marker in the first stitch to mark the round’s start.
3. Continue working 1 sc into each chain until you reach the last chain (10 single crochets total).

Step 3: Transition to the Other Side

1. Place 2 sc into the last chain to pivot and begin working along the opposite side of the chain. This creates a rounded corner.
2. Work 1 sc into each chain along the opposite side (10 stitches total).

Step 4: Adjust Stitch Count

1. At the original starting point, place 1 extra sc into the same chain space to even out the round.
2. At the end of Round 1, you should have 21 stitches total.

2. Build the Walls of the Case

Step 5: Crochet the Height

1. Remove the stitch marker and start the next round by placing 1 sc into the first stitch. Move the marker to the new stitch.
2. Work 1 sc into each stitch around (21 stitches per row).
3. Repeat this process for 7–8 rows, depending on the height of your earbud case. Adjust the row count so the top fits snugly at the opening.
   (Make sure the case covers the lower portion of your earbuds securely.)

3. Top Flap (Frog Head)

Step 6: Begin the Flap

1. Start the next round with 1 sc, moving up the stitch marker.
2. Work 1 sc into the next 11 stitches, leaving the remaining 10 stitches on the opposite side unworked.
3. When you reach the beginning, chain 10 stitches to create a flap.

Step 7: Create the Gap

1. Skip the next 10 unworked stitches from the base and insert 1 sc into the first stitch on the worked side.
2. Continue single crocheting around until you reach the chain you created.

Step 8: Build the Frog Head

1. Over the next rows, work 1 sc into the chain spaces (10 stitches).
2. Repeat rounds until the flap reaches your desired height (approximately 4–5 rows).

4. Closing the Flap

Step 9: Finish the Frog Head

1. Ensure the final row ends at the corner of your work. If not, adjust the stitch marker or slip stitch to move to the correct position.
2. Slip stitch into the last stitch.
3. Chain 1, cut the yarn. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Step 10: Sew the Flap Shut

1. Turn the case inside out so the back side of the stitches faces you.
2. Using a tapestry needle, sew the flap shut by alternating between the front and back loops of each “V” stitch.
3. Once the top is neatly closed, knot the yarn securely. Flip the piece back to its right side.

5. Attach Safety Eyes

Step 11: Place the Eyes

1. Position the safety eyes on the frog’s flap at the desired locations.
2. Ensure the eyes are spaced evenly for symmetry.
3. Secure the backs of the safety eyes, making sure they are fastened tightly through the yarn.

Tips for Success

1. Gauge is not essential, but check the size of your earbuds case and adjust chains or rows accordingly.
2. Use bright green yarn for a cheerful look, or mix colors for unique styles (e.g., neon green or pastel hues).
3. For added whimsy, embroider details onto the frog’s face, such as a smile or cheeks.
4. Insert the safety eyes before completing the final rounds for easier placement.
