You asked for it - now here it is! Bikes!

I’ll fully admit this pattern is a pain in the butt. There’s colorwork with long carries, and you either have to work 3-color rows or duplicate stitch (I recommend the latter). But it’s awesome!

As you might have guessed, I ride. I have a Harley Fat Boy and an Ultra Limited. There are actually a couple charts for non-Harley models included though!

If you’re printing this out, the 120-stitch pattern chart comes out larger on the Landscape layout file. However Ravelry insists on turning the pages sideways, and I realize this may be an issue for reading it on some devices, so I provided a right-side-up (Portrait format) file as well. The versions are otherwise the same.

This pattern is free to use, but please consider making a donation to Bikers Against Child Abuse (you can donate to the International organization, choose a chapter in your area, or the designer’s chapter is Big River WI). If you’re shopping for yarn rather than using your stash, please consider ordering from my local yarn shop (Blue Heron Knittery in Decorah IA).

I don’t mind if you knit items to sell using this pattern, or modify it and publish your own version. Have fun!
