Bike Earmuffs
Last year I bought a mountain bike and started riding again. The wind can zap the heat out of you while peddling uphill. I made some Bike Helmet Ear Warmers (Ravelry link) to keep my ears toasty. I used some of the black Halcyon yarn I had left over from the second Che purse. (pics of that soon)
I made some alterations. After reading other knitter results I CO 30 stitches to avoid making them too big. I cut out rows 17-22 to avoid making them too long. For the bottom I added three rows of k1p1 ribbing.
I would have knit these in the round but wasn’t sure I had enough yarn for two muffs. They fit nice and snug.
If you ride a bike I recommend this pattern.
