My favorite golfer in colorado asked some months ago for a knitted driver cover. Not being a golfer, and not finding any decent patterns for such a thing, it took me awhile to figure this out. In the end, it was pretty easy.

The patterns out there for club/driver covers tend to take the shape of a loose sock: a long ribbed area with a loose top. sometimes with pom poms. easy, but not cool. I decided to do something more fitted.

Specs:
Yarn: Koigu Kersti, about half a skein, super bright yellow
Needles: size 3s or 4s or maybe 5s, dpns

Before I forget even more of the pattern, here's the basic idea.. its like a sock, but different.

The ribbed part is just that, 2x2 ribbing, over maybe 44 stitches. Then I switched to a textured pattern for the club area. The pattern I used is from the gentleman's sock pattern in knitting vintage socks - 2 rows of stockinette, followed by one row of k1,p1.

I knit a heel flap in this textured pattern, half the stitches plus 1, then the short row heel turn. After picking up stitches, I decreased less than you would for a sock.. so the club area ended up larger. Also made sure the decreases lined up with knit stitches in the textured pattern.

I knit straight for a couple inches, then decreased a bit as for a toe, and used a 3-needle bind off on the reverse side to finish it off.

and then there was a driver cover! Its kinda stretchy, fit a couple different drivers in my tests.
