Two Tone iPod/Smartphone Sock (free pattern)

I've tried to design a knitting pattern a few times already, but all of those times I've failed miserably. But this time, I DIDN'T. Yes. I know. I've finally done it.

This pattern is for a basic multicolored electronic device sock. Mine is a bit small, but if you follow the given instructions, you will have a sock that will fit an iPhone. Here's how I did it:

Materials:
-Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in two different colorways. I used Dusty Purple and Little Boy Blue (this is a Baby colorway). Decide on which colors you will use as A and B.
-US size 7 (4.5mm) needles, or size to obtain gauge
-Tapestry needle

Gauge:
18 stitches to 4 inches on a size 7 needle

Instructions:
With A, CO 16 stitches. Work 5 rows in 2x2 ribbing (K2 P2 to end).

Still using A, work 10 rows in stockinette stitch.

Change to B, and work 14 rows in stockinette stitch.

Next row: Purl across. This is the turning ridge. Beg with a purl row, work 13 more rows in St st.

Change to A and work 8 rows in St st. Work 4 rows in 2x2 ribbing. BO in pattern.


Finishing:
Weave in ends, except for the cast on and bind off tails. Block if desired and seam the edges together using the tails. Enjoy!!!
