Feeling Crafty? Knit an iPod Sock!


You may have seen iPod socks on eBay. If you don't feel like paying 'designer' prices for one, don't like the colors that are offered, or just feel like knitting something, and then why not make your own?

It's quite simple. All you need are some 3mm knitting needles, and some double knitting wool.

To make an iPod sock with a small front pocket, use these instructions:

Front pocket:

Cast on 16 stitches, and knit (stocking stitch) for 3 inches, then put the stitches on a spare needle.

Main Sock:

Cast on 40 stitches and knit 2x2 rib for 3 inches. End with the wrong side. Then knit (rib) for 22 stitches, cast off 16 stitches, P2Next row, K2 transfer 16 stitches from the Front pocket needle and knit 2x2 (rib) across all stitches until the sock is 4 inches long.

Finally, change to a smaller needle and knit 2x2 (rib) for another 2 inches. Then cast off.

Now fold in half and sew it up to make a sock, secure tightly, and make sure that your iPod fits nice and snug.
