Woman with Cats Cycling

Ever since I lived in the UK, I’ve missed cycling in the Netherlands – especially since it’s quite hilly where I am now in Nottingham! So, I’ve long wanted to design a pattern that captures my love of cycling.
Once I had the woman on the bike drawn, something still felt missing – until I added baskets with her feline friends! Now I’m proud to present my latest design: Woman with Cats Cycling.

Some of my enthusiastic testers couldn’t resist adding more colours, but the pattern itself is designed to be worked in just two.

Included in the pattern:
