Is the fabric on your headphones tearing? Does it look dirty and feel horrible but the headphones still work great? Don’t waste money on new ones when you can have beautiful customized earpieces for those hard-working, long-serving little speakers! Knitted covers feel better than the original vinyl and it’s a great idea to use washable yarn!

Knitted from the center outward in a circle, then divided for the cords and headpiece and knitted flat.

This pattern has a speaker hole in the center matching this style of earpiece. Size is approximately 3” diameter by 1” deep but pattern includes instructions to increase size for larger model headphones.

Instructions for a bow tie closure or a button loop options.

Materials: A very small amount of soft worsted weight yarn . #8 double-pointed needles, a crochet hook of similar size , tapestry needle.

Optional materials: One stitch marker, 4 buttons.
