Apple has announced that box sets of six iPod Socks will be available in the UK this December for £19, but if your iPod is cold now and simply can't wait until Christmas you might like to knit it one now.

This is what one Macworld reader has done. And in the spirit of Christmas she has offered to share the knitting pattern with Macworld readers.

Pattern creator Sally Kentfield told Macworld: "I think Apple's iPod Socks are cool, but I've already knitted my own."

And Sally plans to continue clothing her iPod. "Tonight I'm going to knit a red and fluffy white Santa Hat for my iPod," she told Macworld. Look out for the Santa Hat pattern on Sally's Web site.
