Steps

1. Cast on. Start by casting on 18 stitches.
   
2. Knit the cover. To follow this pattern, you will need to use the stockinette stitch, consisting of one knitted row followed by one purled row and so on.
   
3. Begin by stitching 80 rows of stockinette stitch. This will take quite a few hours, or instead you can relax and do it slowly over a few days.
   
4. Weave in. When you have finished, cast off. When you have finished casting off, weave in your yarn ends using a large yarn needle.
   
5. Finish off. To finish off your iPod cover you will need to sew the seams together. With the right sides of your cover both of your seams together using the mattress or garter stitch. Once this is done, turn the cover the right way round.
   
6. Sew a decorative button onto the flap of the iPod cover. Take a long length of sewing thread, knotted at one end and threaded through a sharp sewing needle. Starting at the back of the fabric, pass the needle up and through one hole in the button then pass it back down through the other hole in the button. Repeat until your button is secure.
