Golf club covers look cool and are essential for protecting your golf clubs.It is easy to create a golf club cover for yourself or as a gift for someone, so this is a great project for any skill level.You can use any color of yarn you want to modify the golf club cover using double pointed needles.Try out the project for a challenge.
Step 1: A slipknot is made.
You can loop the yarn around your finger.Pull the first loop through the second loop to create the slipknot.Attach the slipknot to the first knitting needle and tighten it by tugging on the tail of the knot.
Step 2: Cast on.
To cast on 60 stitches, use your set of 5 size 3 double pointed needles.The stitches should be spread evenly among the needles with 15 stitches per needle.The fifth needle should not be used.To cast on, loop the yarn over the needle in your left hand, then insert the right hand needle through the loop.Pull the yarn through the loop to make a cast on stitch.Follow the pattern's recommendations for the type of yarn to use, the size of the needles, and the number of stitches you need to cast on, if you are using a pattern.
Step 3: Knit.
Your first double pointed needle should be inserted into the right hand needle.Pull the new loop through the cast on stitch after looping the yarn over the needle.Continue to knit in the round.You will be working from one needle to the next as you knit with double pointed needles.Start by knitting the stitches on the first double pointed needle in your round with your right hand.Transfer the empty needle to your right hand and use the stitches on the next needle in the same way.You can put a needle tip cover on the end of the needle.If you don't use the needles until you are ready to knit, this will help keep the stitches in place.
Step 4: Continue knitting until the shaft cover is the desired length.
Measure the golf club shaft area to see how long it will take to cover it.You can use a different stitch or work the entire golf club cover in the knit stitch.Continue working until the portion of the cover that goes over the golf club shaft is what you want it to be.Depending on how long you want the golf club cover to be, you can work the shaft portion until it is 20 or 30 cm.You can use a decorative stitch for all or part of the shaft cover.
Step 5: You can change colors as you please.
You can knit the golf club cover in a single color, or you can change colors every few rows to create a striped effect.Wait until you are about to start a new round to change colors.The old strand of yarn should be tied as close to the stitch as possible.Use the new strand of yarn to knit the next round and as many rounds as you want.For narrow stripes, you could change colors every 2 rounds or every 4 rounds for wider stripes.
Step 6: The increase should be started by knitting 1.
Attach the right hand needle to the end of the double pointed needle and knit the first stitch.Pull the yarn through the stitch to create a new one.In the same way, knit all of the odd stitches.
Step 7: Knit both front and back.
Attach the right hand needle to the double pointed needle in your left hand to knit front and back.Don't let the old stitch slide off of the left hand needle as you pull the yarn through.Put the right hand needle into the back part of the stitch and knit it from this direction as well.In the same way, knit all of the stitches in the round.
Step 8: To the end of the row, repeat this sequence.
The total number of stitches will be increased by 1.5 times by following this sequence to the end of the row.If you have 60 stitches and the piece is 9 inches around, you will end up with 90 stitches.
Step 9: The next round of knitting is necessary.
If you want, you can use another stitch after you finish the increase round.You don't need to work any more increase rounds.The golf club cover needs to be knitted until it is the desired length.If you want to know if the golf club cover is the right size for your club, try slipping it into the cover when it is almost done.You can see how much more you need to knit.If you do this, be careful that the stitches don't fall off the ends of the double pointed needles.
Step 10: Work less.
Reducing rounds until the top of the cover is closed is a simple way to finish your club cover.Put your needle in the first 2 stitches on the left hand needle.Pull the yarn through the stitches after yarn over.You will have one stitch on the right hand needle.This is done at the end of the round.You will have less stitches by the end of the round.If you start with 100 stitches, you will have 50 by the end of the round.
Step 11: The top of the club cover should be closed.
You will have half the number of stitches at the end of the round if you work a decrease round.You will have to work several rounds until you have one left.If you start with 80 stitches, then you will have 40 stitches at the end of the next round, 20 stitches after that, and 10 stitches before that.Just knit the extra stitch if you work a round with an odd number of stitches.
Step 12: Tuck in the tail by tying the end of the yarn.
Pull the end of the yarn through the loop when you only have a single stitch left.To secure the final stitch, tug the yarn to tighten.The golf club cover should be pushed through the tail of the yarn to hide it.You can weave in the ends by threading the end of the yarn through a yarn needle and sewing around the golf club cover.The golf club cover is done.If you want to try it out, place it over a golf club.
