Materials & Yarn Requirements

This pattern (page 2 of the PDF) is designed to fit a steering wheel measuring 14.5–15 inches in diameter. Always check your wheel size before starting.

You’ll Need:

• 3.5mm crochet hook
• 5mm crochet hook
• 275 yards of medium weight (4) yarn
• Tapestry needle

Optional (for seatbelt cover):

• Three ¾-inch buttons
• Sewing needle + thread

Gauge: One square = 3.5 x 3.5 inches.

Crochet Stitches & Special Cluster Stitch

This pattern uses basic US crochet terms like SC, HDC, DC, and slip stitch (pages 2–3). The standout stitch is the cluster stitch, which creates the daisy petals.

The cluster stitch is worked like a partial double crochet repeated in the same stitch until you have 5 loops on your hook. Then yarn over and pull through all loops, chain 1 to secure.

This textured stitch gives the flower its dimensional, puffy look.

How to Crochet the Daisy Granny Squares

You will make 10 flower squares total for the steering wheel cover (page 4).

Round 1 – Magic Circle Center

Using a 3.5mm hook:

• Magic circle
• Ch 3 (counts as DC)
• 11 DC into circle (12 total)
• Slip stitch to top of ch 3

Fasten off after Round 2.

Round 2 – Increase Round

• Ch 3
• 2 DC in each stitch around
• 24 stitches total
• Slip stitch and fasten off

This round builds the base for your daisy petals.

Round 3 – Daisy Petals (Cluster Stitch Round)

Join white (or petal color) yarn in any stitch. Work a cluster stitch in every other stitch, chaining 2 between each cluster.

You’ll have 12 cluster stitches total, forming a complete daisy. Fasten off after completing the round.

Make 10 of these flower centers.

Turning the Flower into a Square (Round 4)

This round (page 6) creates the granny square shape using DC and HDC stitches.

Each side follows a consistent pattern:

• 3 DC (corner start)
• 3 HDC
• 3 HDC
• 3 DC
• Ch 2
• 3 DC in same space (corner)

Repeat for all four sides.

This transforms your circle into a structured square.

Join-As-You-Go Method (Stretch-Friendly Fit)

The pattern uses a join-as-you-go crochet technique (pages 7–11). Instead of sewing later, you attach each square while crocheting the final round.

This method adds stretch, which helps the cover fit snugly around the steering wheel. Slip stitches replace chain-2 spaces when connecting squares.

Continue until all 10 squares form a continuous circle.

Crochet Trim & Ruffle Edge

Using a 5mm hook (page 11):

Trim Round

• 1 DC in every stitch around
• 1 DC in each corner space

You can use one solid color or change colors for each square.

Ruffle Round

• Ch 1, SC
• Skip 1 stitch
• 3 DC in next stitch
• Skip 1 stitch
• SC

Repeat around both edges.

This creates a cute, decorative ruffle border.

Optional: Crochet Seatbelt Cover

The PDF also includes a matching crochet seatbelt cover pattern (pages 13–15).

• Make 2 daisies
• Join together
• Work DC border
• Add ruffle edge
• Sew on 3 secure buttons

The buttons slide through the ruffle gaps to fasten around your seatbelt.

Adding Smiley Faces (Optional Detail)

For extra personality, stitch smiley faces using black yarn and a tapestry needle (pages 16–18).

• Stitch eyes between cluster stitches
• Embroider curved mouth along DC row
• Reinforce stitches for durability

This detail makes the design playful and Pinterest-worthy.

Securing the Steering Wheel Cover

The pattern strongly recommends reinforcing the cover (pages 19–20).

You can:

• Sew all the way around through both sides
• Tie shorter reinforcement knots every few inches
• Use rubber grip under the cover

This ensures safety and durability.
