Knit an iPod Cozy

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!
