Quick and Easg Earbud Case
by Rehecca Diamond
You know how sometimes something bugs you but not enough to do something about it until it finally makes you SO MAD you have to fix it right then? That was me, every time I pulled my earbuds out of my bag and realized they had tangled on something in there. So I decided to create a case for them, but I only had about a half hour to do so. Hence, the Quick and Easy Earbud Case!
I used Boku yarn, and a size 6 needle. Any worsted yarn should do. Gauge isn't completely crucial, but for my sample, I got 5.5 stitches per inch, and 7 rows per inch. In addition to knitting and purling, the following techniques are used : Judy's Magic Cast-on a JMCO video can be found here Magic Loop Bobble ssk k2tog yarn over (YO) Using JMCO, cast on 16 stitches per needle. Knit 12 rows. K7, make bobble: k,p,k,p into stitch. Repeat for next stitch. Turn work and purl, turn work and knit, turn work and purl. K2tog 4 times. Pass 1st stitch over the next 3. Pass 1st stitch over the next two. 2 stitches remain on needle. Continue knitting until end of round. Knit 8 rows. K 2, bind off 14, K until end of round. Turn work and knit the remaining 18 stitches. Turn, and work 8 rows flat in stockinette stitch. K7, k2tog, YO x 2, ssk, knit until end. Purl the next row - when you come to the double yarnover, purl and then knit into it, purl until end of round. Knit 2 more rows in stockinette stitch. The next 4 rows are worked as follows: slip one, ssk, knit until 3 stitches from end, k2tog,k1. Bind off. Weave in ends, and enjoy your Quick and Easy Earbud Case!

Honestly, be fair. Don't say you made up the pattern, because that's not nice. Otherwise? Use it however you like. If you want to make them to give away or sell them to raise money so you can finally afford that emu farm you've had your eye on, more power to you ;-) Just have fun with it,ok?
