Because I’m a huge procrastinator, I’m still working down to the wire here with my Christmas presents. I had decided today to try to whip up some fast ski hats for my brothers, since we’re going on a family ski trip this weekend. The yarn I had grabbed at the store didn’t mix well with the pattern I was halfway through, so I frogged the hats and decided to make them some quick ipod cases to match the hat’s I will eventually make them instead. Now, they’re not intricate or even very pretty, but the point of me sharing the pattern is that they only take about 15-20 minutes to make - a super huge bonus for those of us serious procrastinators. Talk about last minute gifts!

So if you still have some scrap yarn left over and you still have no clue what to make for your six thousand and one relatives, make a few of these in the car on the way to Christmas dinner! They fit iPods, cell phones, condoms, birth control packets, coins, small makeup items (lipstick, eyeshadow, etc), cameras, and various other random things.
