Wickerton is one of 10 designs in Bespoke, a book which celebrates the magnificent bicycle with stunning knit and crochet designs in Rowan yarns. Published on 16th January, the book is available to pre-order from baa ram ewe.

The simple organic shaping of this bike basket uses just double crochet, which means it looks impressive but is still suitable for beginners. The basket uses a wire coat hanger to provide shape and attach it to a bicycle. A pretty Yorkshire Rose flower motif is also included in the pattern to decorate your basket.

Pattern requires 2 balls of All Seasons Chunky for the main colour and one ball each of three contrast colours.
