It started with a plaid effect golf club cover and then moved on to a baby Yoda golf club cover (I still have a few more Star Wars themed covers in progress), now I have got my next cover completed and this time have gone for a swirl effect with a pom pom detail. This swirl club cover is also slightly larger than the previous plaid and baby Yoda as I needed this one to go over a driver.
I only used 2 colours on this one as I really wanted the swirl to stand out so stuck with just the black and orange. I want to make a couple more of these using some different colour combinations too.
Wool used:
Colour 1 (Black): Hobbycraft Everyday DK in black.
Colour 2 (Orange): Hobbycraft Everyday DK in orange.
