Aubergine and moonstone blue give a crochet steering wheel cover a strong dark-and-cool color direction without needing a large palette. Aubergine can provide the deeper visual anchor around the wheel, while moonstone blue can lighten edges, separate blocks, define joins, or interrupt a broad purple band with cooler contrast.
A steering wheel is different from an ordinary crochet decor surface because the complete circle is rarely viewed as an uninterrupted band. Spokes divide the wheel, the top arc is more visible through the windshield, and the sides often become visually prominent from the driver’s seat. That makes color placement around the circumference more important than simply alternating yarn at regular intervals.
There is also an important use distinction. Some crochet steering-wheel-cover patterns explicitly describe the project as a decorative cover for a parked vehicle, and broader crochet guidance notes the potential for a cover to slip or interfere with grip. Treat the ideas below as decorative parked-car covers and remove the cover before driving rather than assuming a handmade yarn cover is suitable for vehicle operation.

Decide Whether Aubergine or Moonstone Blue Should Control the Wheel Ring
Start by choosing which shade should be visible across most of the circumference. An aubergine-led cover creates a deeper overall ring and lets moonstone blue function as a cooler separator. A moonstone-blue-led cover feels lighter, while even relatively narrow aubergine sections can create strong visual anchors.
Judge the colors on the wheel rather than only as skeins. A dark dashboard, pale interior, wheel spokes, and windshield light can all change which shade appears more prominent. If your particular moonstone blue and aubergine are close in value, use wider blocks instead of depending on tiny details for separation.
Keep Aubergine and Moonstone Blue Placement Clear Around the Spokes
The spokes interrupt the circular pattern, so use them as visual reference points when planning color. A moonstone-blue section can occupy the upper arc while aubergine controls the lower portion, or matching aubergine sections can sit at opposite sides with blue between them.
Do not assume an evenly striped flat rectangle will look evenly distributed after installation. Test the unfinished color sequence around the actual wheel while the vehicle is parked. If a transition lands awkwardly beside a spoke, shifting a broad block is usually cleaner than introducing an extra short stripe.
Keep Aubergine and Moonstone Blue Decoration Flat and Removable
Raised flowers, thick bobbles, loose appliqués, dangling details, and bulky joins can change the surface of a steering wheel. For these color adaptations, let the palette provide most of the decoration instead of adding large projections.
Even when a tutorial discusses a secure fit, a handmade crochet cover should not be assumed safe for driving. Some tutorial creators stress tight fitting and securing against movement, while other crochet sources explicitly recommend parked-car use only.
1. Aubergine Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Moonstone Blue Twin Edges
This palette gives aubergine almost the entire visible center band and places moonstone blue along both long edges. When wrapped around the wheel, the lighter blue can form two narrow parallel lines bordering a broad purple center.
The idea works especially well when you want the cover to remain predominantly aubergine without reducing moonstone blue to a single isolated detail.
Aubergine Should Carry the Broad Center of the Wheel Band
Keep aubergine uninterrupted through most of the cover width. The dark central field gives the full circumference a continuous visual identity even where spokes divide the ring.
If the crochet texture already has substantial definition, avoid adding blue stripes through the center. The contrast at the two edges can provide enough variation.
Moonstone Blue Can Frame Aubergine on Both Wheel Edges
Use moonstone blue consistently on the inner and outer visible edges so the purple sits between two cooler lines.
Compare the two borders after the cover is fitted. If one edge rolls farther out of sight, widening it simply to match the other visually may make the flat piece uneven; judge the final result on the wheel instead.

2. Moonstone Blue Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Aubergine Side Arcs
Here, moonstone blue controls most of the wheel while aubergine is concentrated around the left and right arcs. The purple sections interrupt the lighter ring at two visually substantial points instead of appearing as narrow stripes.
Repeating the same color position on both sides gives the cover symmetry when viewed from the driver’s seat.
Moonstone Blue Should Connect the Top and Bottom Wheel Arcs
Let moonstone blue continue through the upper and lower sections so the cooler shade remains the primary color.
Keeping those two arcs related also means the blue still reads as one continuous design even though the aubergine sides separate them physically.
Aubergine Side Arcs Need Matching Visual Weight Against Moonstone Blue
Make the left and right aubergine areas comparable in visible length if you want a symmetrical result.
Use the spoke positions as checkpoints. A purple section that terminates at a different visual point on each side may look accidental even when the stitch count is technically identical.

3. Aubergine And Moonstone Blue Split Block Crochet Steering Wheel Cover
A simple half-and-half approach gives both shades major surface area. One large portion of the circular band can be aubergine and the other moonstone blue, creating the strongest single color boundary in the collection.
Rather than thinking only in terms of equal yarn amounts, decide where the transition should appear once spokes and the wheel orientation are considered.
Aubergine Needs One Uninterrupted Steering Wheel Block
Keep the aubergine section broad so it reads as a deliberate half or major segment rather than several neighboring stripes.
A large dark block also gives you a clear comparison point for deciding whether the chosen moonstone blue is sufficiently separated in value.
Moonstone Blue Should Meet Aubergine at a Deliberate Wheel Position
Place the color transition relative to a spoke or another obvious wheel landmark instead of allowing it to fall randomly along an exposed arc.
Test the division in the parked vehicle before completing the cover. A mathematically equal split may not appear visually equal once part of each color is interrupted by spokes.

4. Aubergine Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Moonstone Blue Narrow Stripes
Narrow moonstone-blue bands give a mostly aubergine cover more rhythm without turning the entire ring into an equal stripe pattern. Space the blue accents far enough apart that the purple still connects visually around the wheel.
This treatment is useful when the construction is simple and you want color changes, rather than added motifs, to create the detail.
Aubergine Should Remain Continuous Between Moonstone Blue Stripes
Give the purple sections significantly more width than the blue if aubergine is meant to dominate.
If the aubergine gaps become as narrow as the blue bands, the design shifts toward balanced striping and loses the dark-field effect.
Moonstone Blue Stripes Need Enough Width to Read Against Aubergine
A very thin color change can disappear once the crochet curves around the wheel. Check the stripe from the normal parked-car viewing position rather than only while holding the fabric close.
If the blue is difficult to see, enlarging a few intentional stripes is generally cleaner than adding many more small ones.

5. Aubergine And Moonstone Blue Alternating Granny Square Crochet Steering Wheel Cover
Joined granny squares provide natural color units. Alternate aubergine-led and moonstone-blue-led squares around the cover instead of trying to divide each motif equally between the two shades.
Planning the order before joining is important because the wheel forms a closed ring: the final square eventually meets the first.
Aubergine Granny Squares Should Repeat at Predictable Intervals
Place aubergine-led squares according to a clear alternating or mirrored pattern. This keeps the darker motifs from collecting heavily on one side of the steering wheel.
Lay the complete sequence in a circle before joining so the first-to-last transition follows the same logic.
Moonstone Blue Granny Squares Should Balance the Aubergine Around the Wheel
Use moonstone-blue-led squares as deliberate counterparts to the purple ones rather than random interruptions.
If the blue is visibly lighter, it may appear to occupy more visual space. You can preserve the planned alternation while keeping the internal motif placement restrained.

6. Moonstone Blue Textured Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Aubergine Edges
Texture already provides surface movement, so this direction keeps the color distribution simple. Moonstone blue covers the textured middle while aubergine defines the two long edges.
The darker border can make the lighter textured area feel contained instead of spreading visually into the wheel underneath.
Moonstone Blue Should Let the Crochet Texture Stay Visible
Use moonstone blue consistently through the textured central area. Repeated aubergine interruptions may make the eye notice the stripes before the surface pattern.
If your blue is relatively pale, the shadows created by the texture can provide additional visual variation without another color.
Aubergine Edges Can Contain the Moonstone Blue Texture
Place aubergine only along the borders so it forms a darker frame once the band wraps around the wheel.
Keep the edging flat. The purpose of aubergine here is visual definition rather than creating a raised ridge along the wheel surface.

7. Aubergine Top And Bottom Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Moonstone Blue Sides
This layout organizes color according to wheel position rather than stitch sequence. Aubergine covers the upper and lower arcs, while moonstone blue fills the two side arcs.
The repeated top-bottom relationship makes the dark shade visible from both outside and inside the parked car.
Aubergine Top and Bottom Arcs Should Echo Each Other
Keep the two aubergine portions related in width and placement so they look like a planned pair.
The wheel spokes can help establish the transition points, but do not force exact symmetry if the wheel itself has an asymmetrical spoke arrangement.
Moonstone Blue Sides Can Break Up a Heavy Aubergine Ring
The blue side arcs prevent the deeper purple from surrounding the complete circumference.
Allow each moonstone-blue section enough length to remain obvious between the aubergine areas. Tiny blue side patches would not create the same four-part structure.

8. Moonstone Blue One Piece Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Aubergine Join
A mostly single-color cover can still use both palette shades meaningfully. Work the broad band in moonstone blue and make the joining or closing line aubergine so the darkest shade marks where the piece comes together.
This is one of the quietest color directions and suits a cover where stitch construction already provides sufficient detail.
Moonstone Blue Should Dominate the One-Piece Wheel Band
Keep blue across the uninterrupted body so it reads as one continuous ring after installation.
A plain field is also useful when you want the aubergine seam or closure area to be easy to locate before removing the decorative cover.
Aubergine Can Turn the Moonstone Blue Join Into a Deliberate Detail
Use the darker shade at the joining area rather than trying to hide the color transition.
Place that contrast where it makes visual sense on the parked wheel. A highly visible top-center join becomes a feature; a lower or less prominent location makes it more discreet.

9. Aubergine And Moonstone Blue Repeating Band Crochet Steering Wheel Cover
This version uses repeated, moderately wide bands rather than fine stripes. Aubergine and moonstone blue alternate around the circumference in blocks substantial enough to remain visible after the cover curves around the wheel.
The scheme gives both shades significant presence while remaining simpler than motif-based colorwork.
Aubergine Bands Need a Consistent Repeat Around the Wheel
Choose a repeat and preserve it through the visible arcs. Irregular aubergine sections can make the circular sequence look as though colors were changed only when yarn ran out.
Before closing the ring, check how the final band meets the first.
Moonstone Blue Bands Should Stay Large Enough to Separate Aubergine
Use blue as a meaningful interval between the dark sections rather than a narrow divider.
If the colors are similar in value, wider moonstone-blue areas become even more useful because the viewer can identify the hue from a larger surface.

10. Aubergine Granny Square Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Moonstone Blue Joining
For a more unified granny design, make aubergine the dominant motif shade throughout and let moonstone blue appear mainly where the squares connect.
Instead of alternating complete motif palettes, this approach makes the joining color responsible for organizing the whole ring.
Aubergine Should Define the Main Granny-Square Surfaces
Keep enough aubergine in every square that the cover still appears purple-led once the pieces are joined.
Lay the squares around the intended circumference before assembly to check that any internal blue details do not create unintended clusters.
Moonstone Blue Joining Can Separate the Aubergine Squares
A blue seam or outer round gives each dark motif a cooler boundary and keeps neighboring aubergine squares from visually merging.
Do not make the join unnecessarily bulky solely to increase the amount of blue. Color separation is useful, but the overall surface should remain as flat as the construction allows.

11. Moonstone Blue Granny Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Aubergine Centers
This idea reverses the granny-square hierarchy. Moonstone blue occupies the larger outer portions of the motifs, while aubergine appears in repeated centers.
The result reads mostly blue from a distance, with dark purple points creating a rhythm around the wheel.
Moonstone Blue Should Connect the Granny Motifs Visually
Use blue through enough of each outer motif that neighboring squares form a related field after joining.
If the joins are also blue, the separate squares can appear less fragmented, leaving the aubergine centers as the strongest repeated markers.
Aubergine Centers Need Consistent Placement Inside Moonstone Blue
Keep the purple center similar from motif to motif. One oversized aubergine center can become an unintended focal point on the wheel.
View all motifs together before assembly rather than deciding each center independently.

12. Aubergine Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Moonstone Blue Outer Border
A single moonstone-blue border creates a different effect from the earlier twin-edge version. Keep the main band aubergine and place blue only along the edge most visible from the front of the parked car.
This asymmetry can give the ring a lighter outline without enclosing the purple on both sides.
Aubergine Should Hold Most of the Visible Wheel Width
Let the purple run continuously through the body so it remains dominant even beside a high-contrast border.
If the aubergine already contrasts strongly with the steering wheel underneath, there is no need to introduce additional blue inside the center.
Moonstone Blue Should Follow One Aubergine Edge Consistently
Choose the edge intentionally and keep the blue line continuous around the circumference.
Check the cover on the wheel before deciding which edge is more visible. The inside and outside edges can present very differently once wrapped around the rim.

13. Moonstone Blue Wide Block Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Aubergine Accent Blocks
Wide moonstone-blue sections provide the main field, interrupted by smaller aubergine blocks at regular points. This gives the purple more visual weight than a thin stripe but keeps it clearly secondary.
It is useful when you want a light overall ring with a few deep color anchors.
Moonstone Blue Blocks Should Occupy Most of the Circumference
Keep the blue sections substantially longer than the purple accents so the hierarchy remains clear.
Plan the sequence against the wheel spokes; large blue sections can bridge visually awkward areas where a tiny color block would otherwise be partly hidden.
Aubergine Accent Blocks Should Repeat Clearly Inside Moonstone Blue
Place aubergine in a predictable arrangement, such as opposite arcs or evenly spaced interruptions.
Avoid several different purple block lengths unless they correspond deliberately with the wheel structure. Consistency makes the accent look planned rather than leftover.

14. Aubergine Fitted Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Moonstone Blue Finishing
This direction uses color minimally: aubergine controls essentially the entire fitted strip, and moonstone blue appears only in the final visible finishing edge.
The small amount of blue works because its placement is continuous rather than scattered.
Aubergine Should Keep the Fitted Wheel Cover Visually Simple
Use aubergine across the main strip and allow the basic crochet surface to remain the focus.
A solid dark band also makes it easier to notice whether the finishing color is sitting evenly around the cover rather than being distracted by internal color changes.
Moonstone Blue Finishing Can Lighten the Aubergine Perimeter
Add blue only where the construction naturally calls for a final border or finishing line.
Keep this accent flat and restrained. A steering-wheel cover does not need a decorative ruffle or raised trim to make the second color visible.

15. Aubergine Floral Granny Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Moonstone Blue Frames
A floral granny layout allows aubergine to create repeated flower-like centers while moonstone blue frames each motif. The color hierarchy should stay consistent from square to square so the ring reads as one coordinated series.
Because floral granny motifs already provide plenty of texture, avoid adding separate raised flowers on top of the joined cover.
Aubergine Floral Centers Need Clear Moonstone Blue Space Around Them
Keep the purple concentrated enough for the central motif to remain recognizable.
If aubergine spreads through every outer round, the moonstone-blue frame loses its separating role and neighboring flowers can visually merge.
Moonstone Blue Frames Can Organize Repeated Aubergine Motifs
Use blue toward the outside of each square so the same cool shade appears between adjacent purple centers.
Lay the complete motif sequence around the wheel before joining and check that the flower centers are not hidden disproportionately behind spokes.

16. Moonstone Blue Motif Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Aubergine Connecting Rounds
For a more varied motif cover, let moonstone blue repeat through the main motif backgrounds while aubergine supplies a consistent outer or connecting color. This keeps individually different motif shapes from making the palette look random.
The purple connection becomes the visual rule that ties each blue-based section into the next.
Moonstone Blue Should Repeat Across the Individual Wheel Motifs
Even if the motif shapes vary, place blue in a comparable visual role so the complete cover has one recognizable base color.
Avoid allowing one motif to become almost entirely aubergine while the others remain blue-led unless that exception is deliberately positioned as a focal point.
Aubergine Connecting Rounds Can Unify Moonstone Blue Motifs
Use purple around the outer portions or connecting areas to create a continuous dark rhythm around the wheel.
The join should remain visually useful without becoming excessively raised. Let color, rather than bulk, provide the separation.

17. Aubergine Crochet Steering Wheel Cover With Moonstone Blue Accent Arc
The final idea reduces the palette to one concentrated interruption. Aubergine covers nearly the entire wheel ring, while moonstone blue occupies one substantial arc—such as the upper parked-car display section.
Unlike repeated stripes, this design has a single focal direction and can make the wheel look deliberately asymmetrical.
Aubergine Should Surround Most of the Moonstone Blue Accent
Keep the dark purple continuous on both sides of the blue section so it is clear that aubergine remains dominant.
A long uninterrupted purple span also lets the accent arc stand out without additional borders.
Moonstone Blue Should Occupy One Clearly Chosen Aubergine Arc
Give the blue section enough length to look intentional. A very short patch may appear like an accidental yarn change rather than the primary accent.
Position it on the parked wheel before closing the cover so the blue lands on the arc you actually want to emphasize.

Comparing Aubergine and Moonstone Blue Crochet Steering Wheel Cover Directions
For the strongest aubergine presence, choose the twin-edge, narrow-stripe, moonstone-blue-join, single-border, fitted-finishing, floral-center, or single-accent-arc ideas. They keep the deeper purple continuous across most of the circumference and use blue mainly to define specific boundaries.
For a lighter moonstone-blue result, the aubergine-side-arc, aubergine-center granny, wide-block, and motif-background versions give the cool blue significantly more visual area.
If both colors should have close to equal importance, the split-block, alternating granny-square, top-and-bottom versus side-arc, or repeating-band options make the contrast itself the primary feature.
Whatever arrangement you choose, judge it on the actual parked steering wheel. Spokes can hide color transitions, curved fabric changes apparent band width, and a pattern that looks evenly distributed on a table may feel unbalanced once wrapped around the complete ring.
Conclusion
Aubergine and moonstone blue can produce very different crochet steering wheel covers even when the construction remains simple. Aubergine across most of the ring creates a darker, more concentrated design, while moonstone-blue edges and joins give it cooler separation. Reversing the balance produces a lighter wheel cover with purple acting as a strong visual anchor.
Granny-square constructions provide natural locations for contrasting centers, frames, and joins, while one-piece covers work particularly well with broad blocks, borders, and deliberate arcs. The key is to use the spokes and wheel circumference as part of the color plan instead of treating the cover like a flat scarf.
Keep the project decorative and safety-conscious. Crochet sources themselves differ in how they discuss securing covers, while some specifically state that their handmade covers are intended for parked vehicles only. The conservative choice is to remove a crochet cover before driving and never let decorative colorwork interfere with steering-wheel grip or vehicle controls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should aubergine or moonstone blue dominate a crochet steering wheel cover?
Either can lead. Aubergine creates a deeper overall ring and works well with moonstone-blue edges, stripes, or joins. A moonstone-blue body feels lighter and allows smaller aubergine blocks to become strong visual anchors.
How can I tell whether aubergine and moonstone blue have enough contrast?
Place the yarns together and view them from farther away. You can also take a grayscale photo to compare their light-dark values. If they appear similar in grayscale, use broad color blocks or substantial borders rather than depending on tiny motifs.
Where should moonstone blue go on a mostly aubergine steering wheel cover?
Useful locations include one or both edges, repeated separator bands, granny-square joining, an upper accent arc, or larger side sections. Give blue one consistent role so it does not look scattered around the wheel.
Where should aubergine go on a mostly moonstone-blue steering wheel cover?
Aubergine can define opposite side arcs, granny centers, connecting rounds, block accents, or the finishing edge. Its deeper appearance often gives it substantial visual weight even when it covers less surface.
Should aubergine and moonstone blue stripes line up with the wheel spokes?
They do not have to, but using spokes as visual checkpoints can make the finished distribution look more intentional. Test the color sequence directly on the parked wheel before completing the final join because some sections may become partially hidden.
Are raised aubergine or moonstone-blue flowers suitable for a steering wheel cover?
Flat colorwork is the more conservative choice for this project. Raised appliqués, bobbles, loose embellishments, and bulky joins add surface changes where hands and vehicle controls may be involved. If you want a floral look, use flat granny-style color placement and treat the cover as parked-car decoration.
Can I drive with an aubergine and moonstone blue crochet steering wheel cover installed?
A handmade crochet cover should not automatically be treated as safe driving equipment. Crochet covers can potentially move or alter grip, and some patterns explicitly specify parked-car use. The conservative approach is to remove the decorative cover before driving.
