This one is for the knitters who also love to golf. The Basic Knit Golf Headcover set is a three-piece collection designed to keep your clubs cosy and looking sharp on the course. Worked in the round with a simple Fair Isle colourwork motif and a numbered circle on each cover, this set is listed as intermediate, but don’t let that put you off. If you’re a confident beginner looking to try something new, you’ll be just fine.

The number on each cover is added using duplicate stitch once the knitting is complete, which means you can change it out any time without frogging the whole thing. A practical detail that golfers will appreciate.
