i-Pod Sock Pattern
If you have an i-Pod and you’d like a ‘sock’ for it, but object to paying money to Apple or someone else for one… if you want to knit one here’s a fairly simple pattern for one.
Cast on 58 stitches * K2, P2 to end (last two stitches should be K) * P2, K2 to end (last two stitches should be P) This sets the pattern. Continue for another 74 rows. Knit 2 rows * P2, K2 to end (last two stitches should be P) * K2, P2 to end (last two stitches should be K) This sets the pattern. Continue for another 8 rows. Cast off in pattern.
To complete, you need to sew up the sock along the starting and side edges. Then, find some cord (I knitted one with my french knitter and attached a couple of bobbles by knitting into the cord) pop the cord in place, fold the sock over on the 2 knit rows and then sew up the final edge to make the cord tube. This was knitted with Palette yarns 019/219 series yarn on 2.25mm/13 gauge needles. If you want a plainer sock, you could use something like the 018/219 series from Palette.
Here’s a piccie of my finished sock… the picture has been doctored to remove the background, but I’m sure you’ll get the idea.
