Mac-Marsupial Lovechild
What do you get when you combine Apple technology with a kangaroo? You get an iPod pouch!
I used Stacy's free iPod cover pattern as my base. But I didn't have the right size DPNs so I improvised with a denser gauge.
Then, as I was knitting it up, I realized I wanted a little place to store my earphones, because they always get tangled up in my purse.
So I added a little pouch in the front. See?
Stacy's pattern has a buttonhole on top, so you can listen to your iPod while it is snug in its pouch.
Who say's modern technology can't be warm and fuzzy?

Oh, Ellen - you must make up the pattern - I love the earphone pocket for the IPOD. Mine is always tangled up in my purse - terrific idea!

Love this adapted pattern, as a new iPod owner would love to knit this up.

If anyone has documented or knows of a pattern for the ipod cozy with earbud pocket and flap I'd love to have it! I'm a new knitter and want to try making it for my husband. All I've ever made is a scarf! Help!

It's perfect! I would love the details on your pattern adaptation. My son-in-law's birthday is only a week a way. Please help. I never know what to get him and this would be so COOL!

Can you please post the pattern for this? Or email it? My husband got one and wants me to make him a cozy. Since I've only ever made him one hat, I feel I owe it to him! Thanks!

Hi! I love your iPod pouch! My husband would like me to make one for him in a green yarn but I don't have the pattern. I'm a new knitter and need detailed instructions....I'm not good at improvising. I would truly appreciate it if you would share with me your pattern for the iPod pouch with the front pocket and button closure. Would that be something you'd be willing to share? Thanks so much!

How CUTE is that!
I like the pouch in the front

It looks great! I love your extra pocket for the earphones.

Totally adorable! Makes me want to buy an iPod just so that I can make an iPod cozy. Someone I used to know told me that if she knew how to knit she would make cozies for everything in her apartment... remote control cozy... coffee mug cozy... TV cozy... She was ahead of her time!
Looks like I'm going to miss UUWS knitters again this week. Did my friend turn up last time?

Cute! (Yes, I agree. I should've been a plastic surgeon. The fun I could've had playing with other people's faces. ha!)
