Hello crafters,

I’ve been looking for ways to accessorize my car lately and one thing I’ve really been on the lookout for is the perfect steering wheel cover. All I can seem to find are boring black covers and my steering wheel is so frozen in the mornings that I finally decided to just crochet my own cozy steering wheel cover 🙂

Making a steering wheel cover for your own car is so simple! I only used single crochet and slip stitches to create this one!

Supplies you will need to make a steering wheel cover

• Loops and Thread Kaleidoscope in “Peridot”
• Crochet hook size 7mm

You can use whatever yarn or hook size you would like to make your steering wheel cover. This pattern is simply single crochet worked up until it is the correct size.

Measuring your steering wheel

The first thing you need to do is measure your steering wheel. The steering wheel cover needs to be exactly the right size so that it stretches around the wheel enough to hold it on tightly.

You will need to take two measurements :

• The distance around the entire outside of the wheel (blue)
• The thickness of the wheel (red)

Once you have your measurements ready you will need to chain on enough stitches to equal the first measurement that you took (distance around the entire wheel)

Then chain 1 and single crochet across. Once you have completed the first row of single crochet you will want to head out to your car and double check that you have done enough stitches to just stretch around the wheel. Don’t wait until you’ve done more than one row like I did or you will need to unravel a lot of stitches when you finish the entire cover and find out that it is too loose.

Once you are satisfied with the length of your cover continue to make rows of single crochet back and forth until the width of your rectangle matches the measurement of the thickness around the wheel minus one centimeter. For example; if the width of your wheel is four centimeters then you want to make your cover three centimeters across.

You want it to be a little bit smaller than the thickness of the wheel because the cover will not go completely around the wheel.

Finishing your steering wheel cover

Once your rectangle is the right size simply hold the ends together and slip stitch them closed. Before you tie off your yarn test the steering wheel cover on your steering wheel one last time to make sure it is the perfect fit!

Enjoy!
