Original Pattern: Birds and Bikes
Knitter Extraordinaire: Jennie (Ravelry Profile)
Mods: The original design features mostly pigeons with a few bikes in the charted design – Jennie changed that so it was ALL bikes. Details and some helpful chart mods (for those front facing bikes!) can be found on her project page, here.
What Makes This Awesome:Â If you live bikes the way Jennie loves bikes, then this is a mod for you! A stranded design like this is a great opportunity to either swap out charts and play around with the designs, or take one element you like best and repeat it on a bigger scale. When changing the charts and having to juggle repeats and the sizing, Jennie came up with a great idea- the ‘front facing’ bike! She created a chart to sneak into those spots where she didn’t have enough room for a bike and it work brilliantly. I am loving this bicycle sweater so much!
What a great sweater. I love it!
Oh my gosh, I love this!
Amazing! What a clever to broadcast your love for bikes 😉 Impressive work.
