This pattern is a 3-in-1 and includes instructions and colour charts for all three sizes (Hybrid, Fairwaywood and Driver)

This one is for the knitters who also love to golf! Many headcover patterns that I saw all followed the same formula, some sort of sock-like body with a taper and a pom. I do love that style of headcover but found myself looking for something a little more fitted and clean at the end.

For this pattern, I used the duplicate knitting technique for the number. This is great because if you ever want to change out the number in the future you can simply un-stitch it with no need to frog the entire headcover! A ton of love went into this pattern and I hope you enjoy making it and that it keeps your clubs super cozy.

If you have any questions or get stuck, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email. If you make my design I’d love to see it! Connect with me on Instagram and don’t forget to tag @atiliaco so I can see what you have made.
