Notes

The size of my crochet zipper pouch for headphones is 8.5 x 7.5 cm. You will be working in rounds. This pattern uses the modified alternating single crochet spike stitch. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make this stitch. The pattern is a repeat of two rounds. It is very easy to adjust the size of the pouch: in the beginning make any number of chains to reach the desired width of your pouch. Then make any number of rounds until you reach the desired height.

Pattern

Start by chaining 22 with the linen yarn.

Round 1: To make the first round, you will be working down the chain, then turn and work on the other side of the chain. Make sc in every st of the chain starting from the second chain from your hook. Turn. 1 sc in the end of the chain, make sc in every st (starting with the one you have just worked into; now that st has 3 sc in total) until you come back to the beginning of the chain. 1 sc in the end of the chain. Join with a sl st to the first sc of this round. In total you should have 44 st.

Round 2: ch 1 (it counts as the first st), sc-blo in every stitch until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the ch1 that you made in the beginning of this round. In total you should have 44 stitches.

Round 3: ch 1 (it counts as the first st). Make a sc-blo in the next st, *sc sp in the next st, sc-blo in the next st*, rep ** until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the ch1 that you made in the beginning of this round.

Round 4: ch 1 (it counts as the first st), make a sc sp in the next st, *sc-blo in the next st, sc sp in the next st*, rep ** until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the ch1.

Round 5-18: repeat round 3 and round 4.

Change to the offwhite yarn.

Round 19-21: repeat round 3 and round 4.

Change to the linen yarn.

Round 22-26: repeat round 4 and round 3.

Fasten off and sew in a zipper.
