Golf Club Head Covers

When my SO asked me if I would knit him some covers for his golf clubs, I could do nothing but oblige; I’d somehow never knit him anything before, so it was about time! And when I posted photos of them and some followers expressed interest in there being a pattern, I figured I might as well type up my notes on how I made them. I used sock/fingering-weight yarn (specifically my Tweedy Sock base in the colorways Darkling [blue] and Sugar Maple [orange]) and US 2 needles. I knit two sizes. At my gauge, the smaller size (Darkling) fits a 4 Hybrid club and the larger size (Sugar Maple) fits a 5 Hybrid club, both with a bit of ease (the ribbed cuff fits easily over the club head but it won’t easily slip off). There’s a lot of flexibility here since the ribbing stretches so much and the cover doesn’t need to fit snug (or so I’m told—I know next to nothing about the purposes and ideal qualities of golf club covers! I pretty much just set out to make a couple looser-knit, bulbous socks).
