Miniature Speakers ***CROCHET PATTERN***

Making the speaker box:

Materials:

2 ply acrylic yarn (black)

3.5 mm crochet hook

Polyfil stuffing

Square top (make 2)

• Rnd 1: Ch 8
• Rnd 2: Sc in second chain from the hook, sc in the next 6 chain spaces. Ch 1, turn
• Rnd 3: *Sc in the first sc and in the next 6 sc. Ch 1, turn*
• Next rounds: Repeat from * to * until your piece looks like a square. Depending on the type of yarn and the hook used, the number of rows needed to make a square may vary. With the yarn and hook that I used 7 rows were enough to produce the desired square piece.
• Finish off. Weave in the ends and cut any excess yarn.

Rectangle side (make 4)

• Rnd 1: Ch 8
• Rnd 2: Sc in the second chain from the hook, sc in the next 6 chain spaces. Ch 1, turn.

• Next rounds: Repeat from * to * until your piece looks like a rectangle. Depending on the type of yarn and the hook used, the number of rows needed to make the desired rectangle may vary.
• Finish off. Weave in the ends and cut any excess yarn.

Connecting the pieces

• Crochet the 6 pieces together using the black acrylic yarn.
• You can choose to sew the pieces together but the edges of the box are more defined and straight when they are crocheted.
• Before closing the box shut, stuff it with polyfil.

Miniature Speakers

Hi all!

I just finished writing my first pattern!

The idea for these miniature speakers came from the need to make something for my audiophile boyfriend. A couple of years ago I made him another decoration for the rear-view mirror in his car and I thought it was time for a change. They also look nice as a decoration on an office desk.

The speakers are a couple of inches tall and have an (optional) string attached to them for easy hanging.

If you want to take things to the next level, you can even turn these into real miniature speakers by concealing a little speaker inside each of the “enclosures” and then stuffing and closing them.
