Want to add a pop of color to your car? Then why not make this cute, Retro Granny Square Steering Wheel Cover!

The average size of steering wheels is 15” in diameter, so this cover should fit most steering wheels without having to adjust anything.

I will say that this is NOT meant to be used when driving, it’s meant to be used as a cover when parked. You know in the Summer time, when you get in your car and it’s like 102 degrees out with the sun beating through the windshield? And the Steering wheel literally could burn your hands? Then this is your solution! Just pop this cover on your steering wheel before you hop out of the car and the next time you drive, simply remove the cover and have a cool to the touch steering wheel.

Plus, it makes a really awesome accessory for your car.

About the Yarn –

So, I was really wanting a more Fall colored cover seeing that it’s nearing the end of August and Fall is shortly coming. I was going through my different yarn, laying them next to each other trying to decide which colors go good together and I finally decided on this color combo using Brava Worsted from WeCrochet. This is quickly becoming 1 of my favorite, worsted weight yarns to grab for just about any project.

The names of the colors are Brindle, Paprika, Avocado and Almond. I was going for Fall vibes, but think I may have hit a more retro feel, lol. I showed the steering wheel cover to my mom and she said it made her think of the 70’s, I’ll admit, it does me too.

Of course, any color combo can work. You could use yellow, cream and brown to make a sunflower cover.

I have a video tutorial for making the granny squares down below!

And, also a video for how I joined the squares together!

Go!

You will need to make 8 squares total.

With Brindle

Round 1: 12 dc in mc, sl st into 1st st

Switch to Paprika

Round 2: ch 2, ps in each st around, sl st into 1st st

Switch to Almond

Round 3: ch 3, lc in same stitch, ch 2, * lc in between next 2 ps, ch 2* repeat around, sl st into 1st st

Switch to Avocado

Round 4: sl st into ch 2 sp, ch 3 (counts as dc), ( 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in same ch 2 sp, * 3 dc in next 2 ch 2 sp, ( 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next ch 2 sp* repeat * to * 2 more times, 3 dc in next 2 ch 2 sp, sl st into 1st st

Cut yarn and weave in all ends. Repeat and make a total of 8 squares.

Once you have completed 8 squares, you will need to attach each of the squares.

To join the squares, start with 2 squares. Face them with their right sides facing each other. Beginning in the ch 2 corner, slip st only in the back loops of each stitch across but only across 1 side of your square. You can slip stitch through both loops but I prefer to look of only going through the back loops.

Cut yarn and grab another square and repeat until you have attached all squares. Being carful not to twist fold the attached squares in half with the right sides facing and sl st the last 2 sides together.

Cut yarn and weave in all ends. Enjoy!
