From the pattern notes:



"This year 2004 Apple introduced IPOD Socks. For $29 you can buy 6 socks that are one size fits all for the IPOD. I looked at them in the store and said, ‘hey, I can make a cooler sock than that’.



It’s really basic and it’s completely planned with simplicity in mind. It works up really fast and the best thing is that uses those small balls of yarn that get leftover when you make socks.

It’s nothing anyone couldn’t come up with, I simply did the math for you!"
