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.

desired
length

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.
