Bicycle Seat Cover

http://madeinoxford.wordpress.com

Ever got on your bike on a cold winter's night and wished your
saddle was warmer? Take some of the chill off with this handy-
dandy knitted seat cosy!

Level:
Beginner. If you've never increased or decreased before, this pattern is a nice gentle introduction.

Materials needed:
Aran yarn (about 70m)
9mm needles
Elastic and a safety pin or large darning needle
Scissors

Abbreviations:
K = Knit
Kfb = knit front and back of the same stitch
Ssk = slip stitch as if to knit, slip next stitch as if to knit, put the left-hand needle back through the two stitches
from back to front, wrap the yarn round the right-hand needle and knit them together.
K2tog = knit 2 stitches together

Notes:
Most of the pattern is made up of knit rows, with just 2 other types of row, which are listed below.
If you're having trouble with any of the special stitches, YouTube has lots of useful tutorials, or drop me an
email and I'll see if can help.

Increase row: K1, kfb, knit to 2 stitches before end, kfb, K1


Decrease row: K1, ssk, knit to 3 stitches before end, K2tog, K1

Instructions:

Cast on 36 stitches. I use a cable cast on for maximum stretchiness.

1. Knit
2. Increase row
3. Increase row
4. Increase row
5. Increase row
6. Increase row
7. Increase row
8. Knit
9. Knit
10. Knit
11. Knit
12. Knit

[These 3 rows form the repeat for the rest of the pattern]
13. Decrease row
14. Knit
15. Knit

Repeat rows 13-15 twelve more times (50 rows). You should be left with 22 stitches.

Bind off. I did this by knitting 2 stitches together, then passing the stitch back onto the left hand needle. Knit
two together, pass the stitch back, and keep doing this until you only have 1 stitch left. Cut your yarn and pull
it through the stitch to finish off.

Weave in ends.

Pin the safety pin to the end of your elastic or thread it onto a large darning needle, and weave it through the
stitches all around the edge of your cover.

Pull so that the edge of the cover curves in on itself (but not too much! You want it secure, not completely
closed) and tie the elastic to the right length. Trim the excess elastic and use the needle to darn in the ends

Stand back (or rather sit down) and admire!
