Helmet Head
Published in Bespoke by Baa Ram Ewe and available in the Peloton Collection ebook (£5.00)
A quick and easy beanie
Being a doctor, I like to look cool and be safe so I never travel by bike without my groovy bike helmet. Sadly this does nothing for my coiffure once I reach my destination and I look far less groovy once the helmet is off and the bike hair is on show.
This quick and easy colourful beanie is great for covering up those bike hair disasters and keeps me looking cool for the rest of the day.
Bespoke celebrates the magnificent bicycle with a stunning book of 10 knit and crochet designs in Rowan yarns and published by Baa Ram Ewe.
Helmet Head is part of a matching set with Cadence Cowl and Handlebar Hands, all inspired by the Tour de France coming to Yorkshire in 2014 and is available to download together as the Peloton Collection.
