Over the last few months I’ve had a couple of queries about whether I could put some golf club covers together, I half agreed at the time and said I would put them on my list of things to make but it could be a little while until they would be made!.

With Christmas approaching I realised that I could make the golf club covers as gifts that I could put together in time for Christmas. I must admit I have left it a little later than I originally planned to get them made but I think I should have just enough time to get them finished, if not I will be having a few late nights to get them completed!

I have a few different designs in mind and all of them pretty random but I think they will work out well (well, hopefully!). The fist I have got completed is a plaid effect cover with pom pom detail.

Wool used:

Colour 1 (Black): Hobbycraft Everyday DK in black.

Colour 2 (Orange): Hobbycraft Everyday DK in orange.

Colour 3 (Beige): Hobbycraft Everyday DK in Biege.

Plaid effect golf club pattern:

Materials:

• 4mm crochet hook.
• Wool: 50g balls in 3 different colours, I used black (colour 1), orange (colour 2) and beige (colour 3).
• Scissors.
• Stitch marker.
• Darning needle.
• Pom pom maker/2 pieces of card to make a pom pom 5.5cm in diameter. 

Finished size:

• 9cm wide stretchy bit at the bottom
• Widest point on the upper section – 12cm.
• 24cm tall.

Notes:

• Change colour on the last yo of the previous stitch.
• When completing the plaid section and changing colours carry along the unused colour by placing along the top of the previous row and competing the stitch as normal.
