Here’s a riddle for you. What can wear a sock, even though it has no feet at all?
…
An iPod! Hahaha! (Bad joke, sorry…)
One of hubby’s brothers asked me to knit him an iPod sock for his iPod Nano. I hardly ever have anyone ask me to knit something for them (hubby himself doesn’t want me to knit anything for him), so I’m happy to oblige. (Plus, we’re on Socktoberfest, so what better thing to knit than a sock?) So this is my version of the sock. Oh, and he wants a scarf too. But that’s for later.
This one is very quick to whip up, just a simple tube with 1×1 ribbing on 3.25mm DPNs and then finished with three needles bind off. I used small amounts of Jo Sharp DK Wool in ‘Winter’ (dark grey), ‘Silk’ (cream/light brown), and Elle Pure New Wool DK in light blue. Well that ought to keep the iPod nice and warm!

that’s a very nice ipod cosy!!
Nice manly colors, too!
How fun! With all the ipod accessories having the same look, I’m sure that he’s happy to have something so unique.
What a wonderful little idea, and it must knit up quite quickly. How sad that your hubby does not want you to knit him anything, since your knits are always so beautifully made.
Cute. :o)
Cool!
And how is the Nano going to wear a scarf? Do tell!
I love it! It gave me an idea though.
I’m beginning to cycle for exercise and I need a way to strap my O2 phone to listen to music.
I’m going to take that a step further and add an armband to it. Just like on the apple website!
Thanks for the inspiration.
