Crochet Christmas Tree Pouch Earpiece Case Pattern

Working in Back Loop Only leaves the front horizontal ridges exposed; these ridges will become the foundation for the leafy branch tiers.

1. Round 6: Chain 2. Working in the Back Loop Only (BLO), work 1 dc into each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first dc. (32 dc)

2. Round 7: Chain 2. Work 1 dc in each stitch around in BLO. Join with a sl st. (32 dc)

3. Round 8: Chain 2. Work 1 dc in each stitch around in BLO. Join with a sl st. (32 dc)

This round creates 8 eyelet holes for threading the drawstring cord.

1. Chain 1. Work 1 sc in the first stitch.

2. ch 3, skip the next 3 stitches, work 1 sc in the 4th stitch.

3. Repeat around: until you reach the end.

4. After the final 1 sc, ch 3, skip the last 3 stitches, and join with a sl st into the very first single crochet. (8 eyelet chain spaces)

5. Chain 1, cut the yarn, and weave in the tail inside the pouch.

Part 3: Layered Pine Branch Tiers (Pine Green Yarn)

Work 3 tiers of overlapping scalloped shells into the unworked front loops from Rounds 6, 7, and 8.

1. Turn the pouch so the base/trunk points upward and the rim points downward.

2. Make a slip knot with green yarn and attach it with a slip stitch into any unworked front loop along Round 6.

3. Chain 1, work 1 sc into the same loop.

4. Skip 1 front loop, work 5 dc into the next front loop (shell made).

5. Skip 1 front loop, work 1 sc in the next front loop.

6. Repeat the shell sequence around: for a total of 8 shells.

7. After the 8th shell, skip 1 loop and join with a sl st into the starting single crochet.

8. Chain 1, cut the yarn, and fasten off.

1. Attach green yarn to the front loop directly above the center of a shell from Tier 1. Offsetting the shells creates a natural, layered pine tree shape.

2. Work the exact same shell pattern: around for 8 shells.

3. Join with a sl st into the first sc. Chain 1, cut yarn, and fasten off.

1. Attach green yarn offset from the Tier 2 shells.

2. Repeat the pattern: around for 8 shells.

3. Join with a sl st into the first sc. Chain 1, cut yarn, and fasten off.

Part 4: Snowy White Edging (White Yarn)

Add a delicate frosted snow border along every shell on all 3 branch tiers.

1. Locate the single crochet at the start of any branch tier. Attach White yarn with a slip stitch.

2. Chain 1.

3. In the next stitch along the shell, work: 1 sl st, ch 1.

4. Continue all the way around the tier: work into every single stitch.

5. Once you complete the round, slip stitch into the starting chain.

6. Chain 1, cut the yarn, and use a tapestry needle to weave the white tails neatly underneath the green shells.

7. Repeat this snowy edging across all 3 branch tiers.

Part 5: Puffy Star Topper (Yellow Yarn Held Double)

Holding two strands of yellow yarn together with the 2.0 mm hook creates a firm, dimensional 5-point star.

1. Make a magic ring (MR).

2. Point 1:

   • Work 1 sc into the ring.

   • Work 1 hdc into the ring.

   • Chain 2 (ch 2).

   • Work 1 hdc into the ring.

   • Work 1 sc into the ring.

3. Points 2 – 5: Repeat into the ring 4 more times until you have 5 points in total.

4. Slip stitch into the first single crochet to join.

5. Chain 1 and cut the yarn.

6. Pull the center ring tail firmly to cinch the hole closed. Tie the two starting and ending tails in a double knot at the back, weave them inside the star to hide them, and trim any excess.

Part 6: Drawstring Cord & Final Assembly

1. Threading the Drawstring:

   • Take your leather cord (or crochet a sturdy chain of approx. 120–130 chains using green yarn).

   • Starting near the front center of Round 9, weave the cord in and out through the 8 eyelet holes (ch-3 spaces).

2. Adding the Cord Lock:

   • Squeeze the spring cord lock/toggle stopper to align the holes.

   • Thread the left cord end through the left hole and the right cord end through the right hole.

3. Knotted Strap:

   • Pull the cord through until the pouch hangs at your desired lanyard length.

   • Tie the two loose ends of the cord together in a clean overhand knot at the top.

4. Attaching the Star:

   • Apply a dab of hot glue or strong craft glue to the flat front face of the cord lock.

   • Press the yellow star firmly onto the front of the cord lock until fully adhered and set.

5. Testing Your Pouch:

   • Slide the star toggle down to cinch the tree top shut; slide it up to open the pouch wide for your AirPods case, earphones, or coins!
