Knitting has been my passion all my life, since I was a young girl...
I have not made this yet so if any of you knitters out there decide to make it, please let me know how it turns out.
It's suppose to be easy to make
I would measure the steering wheel first so you will know how long you need to make it.
After you have knit about 6" I would see if it is wide enough to go around your steering wheel. If you need more stitching you will have to rip out and cast on more then the 26 stitches
Happy Knitting

GAUGE:
25 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) over pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

I never could get beyond the first row. Now my hands don't work like they used to. It always looks so relaxing.
My Aunt (who's ranch I loved to be on as a kid) taught me to knit. Idle hands.......
so at night we knitted or read or cleaned windows. I could be "allowed" to do more of these activities during the day, if I chose not to cowboy with my uncle. I rode of course. I made a few socks as a girl, of strange colors I thought. & my Aunt thought I should have done better. My Uncle would wink at my torture. It was our secret that "tomorrow" riding would be fun
I can't knit a stitch nowadays

Bonnie if you still lived here, I could teach you to knit. I have a really easy way to teach knitting. Do you Crochet?
I plan on putting some Crochet patterns on here to.
Jessie You should get back to knitting even if you only have time to do a couple rows each day. Just think of all the things you could make the Grand kids !
Nahhhhh ....it wasn't my thing really.
But who knows maybe someday
Jessie
