An iPod cozy can be both useful and pretty! Depending on how well you knit, your iPod can have a new sweater in as little as a half an hour. An iPod cozy is for beginner to moderately-good knitters as it is pretty simple to make. The example below is for an iPod Mini, but the principles will work elsewhere, too.

Steps

  1. Cast on 9 stitches. If you are knitting an iPod cozy for your iPod Nano, cast on 5 stitches.
  2. Knit in garter stitch (knit each row) until the piece is long enough to wrap all the way around your iPod and leave a flap.
  3. Bind off.
  4. Sew up the sides with a blunt needle.
  5. Sew on a button. The fabric should be loose enough to push the button through without creating a button hole.

Tips

  • Try not to make your stitches too tight or too loose and your cozy will be just right!
  • You might also try Sew-an-iPod-Carrying-Case, if you don't want to knit.
  • Try using different colors for a prettier look.

Things You'll Need

  • Lion Wool Ease Thick & Quick, Charcoal (partial skein), or your choice of yarn
  • Size 10 needles
  • Large crochet hook
  • Button
  • iPod
  • Ruler for measuring iPod
