My fiance really does a good job creating his own patterns for IPod and cell phone cozies. His first few ones were in regular worsted weight yarn, but he found that very bulky. After a trip to Hobby Lobby (where he spent more time agonizing over yarn than I), he found Red Heart Luster Sheen which works really well and is very soft. He's since made a cell phone case for me, but this is his masterpiece. I'm so proud of him! :hook

Open with cutout to plug IPod into stereo (he designed and figured it out all himself!):

Of course, now he says he's bored by the endless single crochet... not sure what he'll take up next. :)

Is he going to turn it into some publication? He should try Crochet Me, or the CAD.

Wow! I am impressed -- love the style of cozy that he created. I hope he doesn't mind sharing that great pattern. ;-)

He said, (and I quote) "What pattern?"

He just kind of eyeballed it and held it up to the IPod to make sure it fit.

May be I'll sit down and try to count stitches, though he does crochet very tightly.
