So I periodically drive my friend's car when she's out of town--i.e. pet sitting, airport pickup, etc. It's a used car, and works well, but it's missing a back on one of the side mirrors.
The other night, I was on knithacker.com and saw that someone had knitted side mirror cozies for her Mini Cooper. I then went looking around and found a pattern for such online. I had to do it! I chose the ninja because her car is black.
I ended up sizing it down a bit--her car mirror was 7 inches rather than 9--and I put a drawstring in and around the edge in order to cinch it to the car. I also left about 3.5 inches uncrocheted on one side so it would fit around the neck of the mirror.
I finished this before picking her up at the airport tonight, and even though I don't think she noticed the front of it with the ninja eyes when she got in, she saw the edges of it and was all, "Thank you!" I think she'll enjoy seeing it from the other side at some point as well :)
Added a few more pics in daylight:
