Crochet Charger Cover

Let us first begin with something obvious: I will not take responsibility for any one who burns down their dwelling space because they crocheted a flammable material over frayed wiring or too close to an outlet. Please, for the love of all that is common sensical, do not crochet over exposed wires and at least four inches away from both ends.

Aside from the a fore mentioned warning, this is a very simple pattern you can use to jazz up your charger and make easy to find. I am constantly misplacing mine or mixing it up with others. Of course, being the proud American that I am, I made it a patriotic red, white and blue.

What you'll need:

3 colors of yarn, a G crochet hook, and a charger cord.

I used Red Heart's red. white, and blue and a Susan Bates hook.

1. Make a slip knot in your yarn and put it over your

charger cord a bit loosely. Tuck your hook in, draw up a loop, 

and let that slip knot tighten. We're all set start now!

2. Now we're going to single crochet around the cord.

With your hook go around and behind the cord, grab

your yarn with your hook and bring it to the front

of your cord, yarn over and pull through both

loops like you would for a normal single crochet.

Go along till you've reached the length you need.

3. Now push you stitches together so that

there aren't any open spaces. This is

optional, but I liked the scrunchy look.

4. Now attach your second color, in this case white.

To do so, slip your hook into the top of

your first color's slip knot. Now put your slip knot

in your second color of choice on your

hook and pull it through. Chain up 1.

5. Now single crochet along your initial color.

6. Now attach your third color. 

7. We'll be crocheting the following in sequence:

Single crochet, half double crochet,

double crochet, triple crochet,  double

crochet, half double crochet, single crochet down 

the length of our work.

And all the way back down.

8. Now slip stitch into the next stitch into

the next stitch and continue along your

merry little way.

And there you go. Make sure you push your work several inches away from the connective ends of the cord (Clearly, I didn't do this in the depicted photo because I wasn't completely finished.). I do not recommend this pattern for any one with small children. Why, might you ask? Because it draws attention to your outlets! So watch out, Mommies! Enjoy, and happy hooking.
