Crochet Sheep AirPods Pouch

This crochet sheep AirPods pouch is a cute way to carry your earbuds while adding a little handmade detail to your everyday accessories. The pouch is shaped like a small sheep, with a soft white wool-style cap, embroidered facial details, floppy ears, and a keychain clasp at the top.

The lower part of the pouch is crocheted in a beige or light brown color, while the fluffy cap is made separately and attached as the top section. The finished pouch can be used for AirPods or other small earbuds, depending on the size you make.

This is a small amigurumi project that uses basic crochet stitches and simple shaping. You can follow the colors shown in the photo or choose your own combination to create a different sheep.

Part 1: Sheep Pouch

Using beige or light brown yarn:

R1: 6 sc in a MR (6)

R2: inc around (12)

R3: (sc, inc) ×6 (18)

R4: (2 sc, inc) ×6 (24)

R5: (3 sc, inc) ×6 (30)

R6: (4 sc, inc) ×6 (36)

R7–R12: sc around (36)

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Lightly stuff the bottom of the pouch so it keeps its rounded shape. Do not overfill it, as the pouch needs to remain roomy enough to hold your AirPods or other small earbuds.

Leave the top open. The white wool cap will be made separately and attached as the lid.

Part 2: Wool Cap

Using white yarn:

R1: 6 sc in a MR (6)

R2: inc around (12)

R3: (sc, inc) ×6 (18)

R4: (2 sc, inc) ×6 (24)

R5: (3 sc, inc) ×6 (30)

R6: (4 sc, inc) ×6 (36)

R7–R10: sc around (36)

R11: (4 sc, dec) ×6 (30)

R12: (3 sc, dec) ×6 (24)

R13: (2 sc, dec) ×6 (18)

R14: (sc, dec) ×6 (12)

R15: dec around (6)

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Lightly stuff the cap if needed to help it keep its rounded shape. Do not overfill it.

Place the cap over the top of the beige pouch and sew the back edge securely to the pouch. Leave the front edge open so the cap can lift like a small lid.

Part 3: Ears

Make 2 ears using beige or light brown yarn.

R1: 6 sc in a MR (6)

R2: inc around (12)

R3: sc around (12)

Fasten off and leave a long tail.

Do not stuff the ears. Flatten them gently and sew them to both sides of the sheep’s head, just below the white wool cap.

Face Details and Assembly

Face Details

Attach the safety eyes between R5 and R6, leaving several stitches between them.
Embroider a small nose and a simple curved mouth using black yarn.
Add a few short stitches on each side of the face if you want to give the sheep a more detailed expression.

Assembly

Sew the two ears securely to the sides of the beige pouch, just below the white wool cap.
Place the white wool cap over the top of the pouch.
Sew the back edge of the cap to the pouch so it stays attached while the front can open.
Make sure the opening is large enough to place and remove your AirPods or earbuds easily.
Weave in and trim all loose yarn ends.

Adding the Keychain Clasp

Attach a small keychain clasp or lobster clasp to the top of the white wool cap.

Use a tapestry needle and strong yarn to sew the clasp securely to the cap. Make several stitches through the same area so the clasp does not come loose with regular use.

Before using the pouch, gently pull on the clasp to make sure it is firmly attached.

Customizing Your Sheep Pouch

You can easily change the look of your crochet sheep by using different yarn colors.

Use cream, beige, or light gray for the pouch.
Try fluffy white, cream, or gray yarn for the wool cap.
Add a small embroidered flower or bow for decoration.
Use different hook sizes if you want to make a slightly larger or smaller pouch. Keep your stitches tight enough that the stuffing does not show.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this pouch for something other than AirPods?

Yes. You can use it for other small earbuds, earphones, or small personal items. The exact fit will depend on the size of the finished pouch.

What type of yarn should I use?

Cotton yarn works well for the beige part because it gives the pouch a neat shape. For the white cap, you can use fluffy or textured yarn to create a soft wool-like appearance.

Can I make the pouch larger?

Yes. You can use a larger crochet hook and thicker yarn, or add extra increase rounds to make the pouch wider. Keep in mind that changing the yarn and hook size will also change the finished shape.

Do I have to use white yarn for the wool cap?

No. You can use cream, beige, gray, or another color to create your own version of the sheep.
