  2. The printed screen onto the plastic

Allow it to dry fully.

Then sew the frame onto the front of the crochet pager case.

Make sure the lid can still open smoothly.

Weave in all loose yarn ends carefully.

Final Thoughts

This crochet AirPods case pattern is a fun mix of nostalgia and practical crochet.

The retro pager design, pastel colors, tiny screen details, and miniature buttons give the project a playful handmade look that stands out immediately.

And because the AirPods Pro case already has a pager-like shape, the final result feels surprisingly realistic once everything is assembled.
