This project is a fun way to add a splash of color and personality to everyday items, and what could be more perfect than creating a cozy cover for your charger? With a simple crochet charger cover pattern, you can turn your regular charger into a cute and stylish accessory in no time. It's like giving your charger a little sweater that not only looks adorable but also helps protect the cord from wear and tear.
Crochet Charger Cover
Whether you choose bright colors or soft pastels, your charger is sure to stand out and bring a smile to your face every time you use it. Plus, it's a great way to use up those bits of yarn you have lying around and make something both beautiful and practical.
Materials Needed:
- Charging cable
- Pair of scissors
- Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
- Crochet hook (4.25 mm suggested)
- Various colors of yarn (worsted weight, acrylic recommended; green for the vine and other colors for the flowers)
Making the Charger Cover:
Starting the Cover:
- Make a loop with the yarn, calling one end the tail and the other the working side (which remains connected to the yarn ball).
- Place the charger on top of the loop, insert your crochet hook into the loop, and pull through the working side of the yarn.
- Before tightening, adjust the stitch to sit on the thicker part of the charger.
- Hold the tail flush against the charger.
Single Crochet Along the Charger:
- Incorporate the tail in the first few stitches for security by doing single crochet stitches around the charger and the tail.
- Make sure the stitches are on the thicker part of the charger without gaps, then continue with single crochets along the charger until covered, excluding the tail when you reach the thinner part.
Push Stitches:
- As you crochet along the charger, ensure to push your stitches back regularly to avoid holes and cover the charger uniformly.
- The beginning might be challenging, but it gets easier past the thicker section.
Creating the Sprouts:
Start the Sprouts:
- Create a loop and pull the working yarn through to make another loop. Put on your crochet hook and tighten.
- Chain four, then skip the first chain. In the second chain, do a single crochet.
Continue the Pattern:
- In the next chain, perform a half double crochet and a single crochet in the subsequent one.
- Slip stitch, chain four again, and repeat the pattern (single crochet, half double crochet, single crochet).
- Finish by pulling a loop through, leaving a tail to weave in later.
Crocheting the Flowers:
Start with the Center:
- Choose a color for the center of your flower and cast on normally.
- Chain four, slip stitch into the first chain to create a circle.
Create the Petals:
- Do five single crochets into the center of the circle.
- Slip stitch into the first single crochet using the color intended for the petals.
- Follow the pattern for each petal: Chain 1, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, single crochet in the same stitch, then chain 1 and slip stitch into the next stitch.
- Repeat this pattern all around until you have five petals.
Finishing the Flower:
- After completing the petals, slip stitch into the starting chain of the petals, pull through a loop, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.
Assembly:
Attaching Sprouts and Flowers:
- Find a spot on the charger cable where you want to attach the flower.
- Use the sprout's green string to tie around the cable tightly.
- Weave in the ends into the sprouts and flowers to secure them in place.
Final Touches:
- Continue attaching flowers and sprouts along the charger cable as desired.
