Materials Needed

• Yarn: Cotton DK weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Yellow
  • Orange
  • Red
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 single crochets (sc) x 10 rows = 2 inches
• Elastic Band: To secure the cover onto the steering wheel

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the yellow yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the center of your spiral.
2. Round 1: Inside the magic ring, work 6 single crochets (sc). Pull the magic ring tight to close the center.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, then increase in the next stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, then increase in the next stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
6. Continue Increasing: Continue to increase in this manner:
   • Round 5: *Single crochet in the next 3 stitches, then increase in the next stitch.* (30 stitches)
   • Round 6: *Single crochet in the next 4 stitches, then increase in the next stitch.* (36 stitches)
   • Round 7: *Single crochet in the next 5 stitches, then increase in the next stitch.* (42 stitches)
   • Round 8: *Single crochet in the next 6 stitches, then increase in the next stitch.* (48 stitches)
7. Measure Your Work: Continue increasing until the cover measures the diameter of your steering wheel. This is typically around 15 inches, but measure your wheel to be sure.
8. Change to Orange Yarn: Once you reach the desired diameter, switch to orange yarn. Work 5 rounds of single crochet (sc) evenly around without increasing. This will create a solid orange band.
9. Change to Red Yarn: After completing the orange rounds, switch to red yarn. Again, work 5 rounds of single crochet (sc) evenly around. This will form the outer edge of your sun cover.
10. Finish Up: Once you've completed the red rounds, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
11. Attach Elastic Band: To ensure a snug fit, take an elastic band and attach it around the edge of the cover. This will help secure the cover onto your steering wheel, preventing it from slipping off while driving.

And there you have it! Your very own Solar Spiral Steering Wheel Sun Cover is complete. Enjoy the vibrant colors and the protection it offers to your steering wheel. Happy crafting!
