ABOUT DESIGN AND PATTERN
The combination of two different types of yarn:
• a washable and dryable non-felting yarn, for the ribbed cuffs and the pom-poms
• a yarn that felts (100% wool or wool with a bit of mohair) when machine washed in hot water for the heads,
allow you to complete the covers before they go through the felting process. The cuffs knit with the washable yarn remain as stretchy as when knit. The covers are completely knit on straight needles. Then they are invisibly woven together before the felting process.
The unique head covers are generously sized to fit your largest irons. You control the size by checking on them as they are in the felting process. After they are felted and air dried add the washable wool pom-poms to the top.
Three different patterns, gingham (intarsia), dots (fair-isle) and two color stripes are all knit in the same color combination. These unusual golf club covers will look great in your club or school colors.
The easy to follow pattern includes:
• Schematic for each piece
• A helpful tracking sheet-included with pattern
• Diagrams and full explanations for techniques
• A link for substitute yarn
• A pattern helpline
MEASUREMENTS
One size fits most clubs. The finished size is controlled by how long and how many times you felt the club covers.
YARN USED FOR SAMPLE
The yarn used for the cuffs and pompoms must be machine washable and dryable.
The yarn used for the head must be 100% wool or mostly wool with a bit of mohair.
Sometimes a wool that is bleached (usually white or a very pale color) will not felt, as the bleaching process damages the fibers. Use off-white instead.

For your golf club covers to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important. It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.
