Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 90 stitches using your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility.
2. Base Edge: Work in stockinette stitch for the first 10 rows:
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches.
3. Pattern Rows: Continue in the following pattern:
   • Rows 1-20: *K5, P5* repeat across the row.
   • Rows 21-40: *P5, K5* repeat across the row.

   Repeat these 40 rows until the piece measures 40 inches in length. Use a measuring tape to ensure accuracy.

4. Bind Off: Once your piece reaches the desired length, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
5. Shape the Cover: To shape the cover, fold the piece in half lengthwise. Use a mattress stitch to seam the sides together, ensuring to leave openings for the headrest and seatbelt. This will allow the cover to fit snugly over your car seat.
6. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. This will give your car seat cover a clean and professional finish.
