Starting with the Base:

- space, repeat around the square. Sl st into the first dc.
- Round 3: Ch 2, dc into hole, 7 dc across, into each chain-2 space (2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc), repeat for all corners and join with sl st. (Rectangle size: 10 cm x 8.5 cm / 4 in x 3.5 in)
Adjusting Rectangle:
- Round 4: Ch 2, dc across, in corners (2 dc, 2 hdc, sc, 11 hdc along the side, 2 hdc, 2 dc in another corner). Continue this pattern to shape it properly.
- Round 5: Ch 2, dc across and repeat similar corner adjustments: single crochets on the side sections, double crochets for top and bottom till the cover aligns the headset base.

Creating the Edges:
- Determine the button, charging port areas with stitch markers.
- Use the respective guides for left/right headphone sides. (left: hole at top, right: three holes at top and one at bottom).
- Double crochet the entire round until you reach the stitch marker, then create space for holes with chain stitches (size and placement per your device’s layout).
Smaller Hooks for Tighter Fit:
- Round 6: Switch to 2.5 mm hook, ch 1, hdc all around, make 4 hdc in chain spaces skipping stitches to precisely size.
- Round 7: Use 2.25 mm hook, slip stitch all around making edges fit snugly.
Finishing:
- Cut the yarn leaving a tail to weave inside for a neat end, secure any loose ends inside the cover.
Assembly:
- Remove cushions from the headphones with a SIM card remover or needle, align and fit your completed crochet cover around them, reposition cushions.
