In this video I share how to make a boho crochet steering wheel cover.
The video is broken down into two parts. First, all the info regarding how to measure and plan your cover and then second, the step by step pattern for this particular cover.
Here are the key points mentioned in the video on how to measure for your wheel whether you are working with this pattern or your own.
*Once you have measured your wheel circumference, you want to make the actual crochet cover at least 5 -6 inches shorter in length to ensure you get a tight stretch fit on your steering wheel.
For example, my wheel is 46" around and my cover is 40" around.
* I made my squares 4x4" and I used 9 squares to reach 40".
4x4 worked for me because I did not want my square to completely wrap around the wheel. I wanted to still be able to easily grip my wheel to maintain safety.
* SAFETY FIRST-- After you have ensured that the cover fits tightly along your wheel and does NOT shift from side to side, then you can tie your cover to your wheel in about 8 different spots around your wheel. This again stops any movement of your cover. These can easily be snipped off later if you want to remove your cover to be washed. Just reattach with new pieces of yarn.
