- Need Needles?
Looking for a little fun in the sun, or need to brighten
a cloudy day? This bike helmet cover will do the trick.
While biking one of Portland’s many group bike rides
last summer I wondered:
What if there were a flock of ladybugs whizzing down the road – would drivers be warmed by the sight and be more apt to share the road?
Might a child reluctant to wear his or her helmet think differently with a spiffy cover?
Would a cold-weather bike ride be more comfortable (and cheerier) with a dressed-up helmet?
Definitely!
The ladybug head, body, and tail are worked flat, with two widths given to fit helmets sized kid and adult.The black stripe is worked in intarsia; the spots can be, too, or duplicate stitch them on afterward in order to place them where you want them. Instructions are written as well as charted.
