So...After watching many videos on YouTube, I finally found a technique I was able to use. (The link is in a previous post)
(Something I found out too late: Not all eyelash yarn is the same length)
2 balls of Red Heart Soft yarn for sleeves. 5 oz each
The pattern calls for 4 two oz skeins. Maybe she used sock yarn?
KNITTED GOLF CLUB PATTERN
Materials:
4-ply knitted worsted, use 2 strands for neck of club
4 two oz skein main color
1 two oz skein for each contrasting color use
(2 strands of "Fun Fur" and 1 strand knitted worsted for head cover part)
1 set of (4) size 6 double pointed knitting needles.
With #6 dpn and two strands of knitting worsted, cast on 32 stitches (12-8-12) for 3,5 and 7 woods.
For driver, cast on 36 stitches (12-12-12). For utility clubs, cast on 24 stitches (8-8-8).
Work k 2, p2 in ribbing for 8". If you want to put in contrasting stripes to denote different clubs, do so after 4" with knit stitch only. Work in stripes as desired. After 8" change to 1 knitted worsted strand and 2 strands of fun fur and knit for 4" (you can try it on the club to see if length is right). Or continue knitted worsted only.
For the driver, increase 4 more stitches (40 total). At the beginning of 4" of plain knitting.
End with shaping the top. This adds approx. 1" to length.
Shape top:
K5, K2 together around
K 1 around
K4, K2 tog around
K 1 around
K3, K2 tog around
K1 around
K2, K2 tog around (I stopped here for 3 & 7 woods)
K1, K2 tog around
K2 tog around. Cut yarn leaving 12" to draw through stitches on needle.
Devise your own method for stripes or:
Driver- work 2" with main color, 3 rounds of contrast color, finish with main color
#3 club-work 1" with main color, 2 rounds of cc, 2 rounds main, 2 rounds of cc, 2 rounds of main, 2 rounds of cc and finish with main color.
HINT: Measure how long you want neck to be on each club when it is in your bag and adjust accordingly.
