For not much more work, starting with an oversize piece of material and some pins, you can tailor a few pleats here and there to make the cover look a little "fitted".
You can get eyelet kits and plastic snap hooks from a chandlery, and they may also have some thin twine and a heavy duty needle - a stitch every centimetre or so is all you need, if you don't have access to a machine.
Even better, make a pattern from an old sheet, using pins instead of stitches. That way, you make your mistakes on something expendable.
To make sure the water doesn't just make a big puddle in the middle,some sort of ridge pole may help. Plastic water pipe, bamboo or an old windsurfing sail batten, maybe.
