MATERIALS:

  • Hometown USA Yarn, 1 skein each:

    135-108 Washington Denim (B)
    135-126 Cleveland Brown    (C)

  • Lion Brand Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)          
  • Sewing needle and thread


GAUGE:

    8 sc + 9 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

    sc2tog (sc 2 sts together) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook - 1 st decreased.

NOTES:

    1. Cover is worked in two sections. First, ribbing is worked back and forth in rows. The first and last rows of ribbing are then joined to make a tube. The head cover is worked in the round onto one end of the tube.
    2. Before beginning the cover, work a chain as explained in Number Appliqué section. The chain will be shaped into a number and sewed to the cover.
    3. To change color in the join of a rnd, insert hook in first st of rnd. Yarn over with new color and draw through st and through loop on hook to complete the join.

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

Im not especially impressed with these golf club covers. My philosophy about spending my time on a project is that it needs to be substantially different or unique enough to be worth my while. These are so generic that they just dont capture my interest. Perhaps if the project were presented in a more interesting way, with more photos and different angles, I might think differently.

Looks like a great pattern that I would love to use, but how do I print it so I can have it close by while making it? Please advise.
