I know that a completely wrapped yoke may look better, but I took
the simple approach. Two pieces of suede about 5x3 in. Friend with
a professional sewing machine sewed velcro on (each type on the ends).

So one side looks like this
-------------------
|o |
|o |
|o |
-------------------

And the other side looks like
-------------------
| +|

-------------------

They wrap perfectly around the yoke (cherokee 180). And if I want
to change colors or something, comes off with no effort. The suede
forms perfectly to the finger bumps on the yoke.
I chose black because it matches the yoke.
