Ipod Tube Sock

Here is my first attempt at a pattern for an ipod
cozy. I made this out of some 100% mercerized cotton yarn, which knits up to
look like the fanciest tube sock ever. Since the yarn was a little stiff, i
washed the cozy after it was complete, and it softened right up. I think this
pattern would also work well with self-patterning sock yarn. 

needles: 4 double pointed US#4, 4 double pointed US#5
yarn: Endless summer collection lara – main color (MC) less than 50m, small amount of a complimentary color
(CC) for the stripes (currently available at elann.com). you could use just about any sport
weight
yarn.

CUFF:
CO
40 stitches and divide among the 3
needles.

Rows 1-6: K2 P2 in
MC

Rows 7-10: K2 P2 in
CC

Rows 11-13: K2 P2 in
MC

Rows 14-17: K2 P2 in
CC

Rows 18-22: K2 P2 in
MC

BODY:
Knit
for approximately 28 rows in mc, or until the cozy is about 1/2 inch from the
desired
length

DECREASES:
Decrease
Row 1: K2tog K6

Decrease Row 2: K2tog
K5

Decrease Row 3: K2tog
K4

Decrease Row 4: K2tog
K3

Decrease Row 5: K2tog
K2

Decrease Row 6: K2tog
K1

Decrease Row 7: K2tog 3 times (do not
repeat this to the end of the row. only do it 3 times. this row is left
incomplete). 7 stitches remain.

Cut the
thread leaving a tail of about 5 inches. Using a tapestry needle, gather the
remaining 7 stitches and pull tight. weave in the ends and you are all
finished! I noticed that the whote color of this yarn is very stiff. a quick
hand wash in the sink softened it right
up.
