How to Knit an iPod Case
You could purchase an iPod case at the store, but why not knit one yourself? Knitting an iPod case can be fun and relaxing, and these hand-knitted cases make great gifts for all ages. Just pick your favorite color of yarn and start knitting! This pattern is designed for the iPod nano, with plenty of room for the earbuds as well. If you'd like a larger case to fit another iPod model, simply increase the length of the case by knitting more rows.

If you prefer, you could omit the button hole and sew on a snap instead.
