Step 5Bind off and stitch up
Bind off in the typical manner: knit two, pass first stitch over, knit one, pass first stitch over, and so on until the end. Break the yarn with at least a 6" tail and pull the tail through the last stitch.
Break or snip the original tail inside of your cover. Fit the little stocking cap over your earbud in a way that pleases you. Thread the working tail onto your needle, and stitch across the circle to a point about 1/3 of the way around. Continue stitching around the raised back of the earbud, inserting your needle about two stitches back from the tail's exit point. Then stitch around to two stitches behind stitch one. It's complicated to explain step-by-step, but think of the way you tighten lug nuts, or how you made five-pointed stars in kindergarten.
Work around until there's nowhere else to put your needle, pulling each stitch tight as you go. Then tie off with an overhand knot and hide your tail. Done!
