Crochet bike saddle cover pattern

[TwoInTheMourning]

I am looking to crochet a cover for my bike seat but I am struggling to find a suitable pattern in UK terms. Has anyone seen anything?

There was one in Simply Crochet magazine towards the beginning of the year... Bear with me I will send if I can find it for you!

[Dutchoma]

any good?

[TwoInTheMourning]

Thanks Dutchoma. The third one could work although ideally i would have liked something more like this:jacqshaakwerkenzohoekje.blogspot.nl/2012/06/fietszadelhoesje.html

Is the fact that it is in Dutch a problem?

[TwoInTheMourning]

Yes, it is for me really. I don't speak Dutch and the google translation is not useful to me because I am not an experienced enough crocheter to just figure things out.

[Dutchoma]

Wel, of course I DO speak Dutch. I've had another look at the pattern but she says: "I've started with three basic circle grannies. You can find the pattern here" But when you click the link you get something that is certainly not the pattern for a granny circle. So you might find a pattern for a circular granny on Ravelry, I am not really a good enough crocheter to do it from scratch.
I wonder if between the two of us we could solve it.

[TwoInTheMourning]

Ooh... you speak Dutch you say?

Well, the pattern for the flowers is right here and luckily it is in English!! solgrim.blogspot.no/2013/04/flowers-in-snow-pattern-in-english.html

So are you able to work out what needs to be done around the flowers?

[Dutchoma]

It's quite hard, not seeing the flowers. But looking at the picture I think you need to start on the light blue before you do the 'squaring' white round. You have twelve groups of trebles. So: front circle: between the groups of three trebles, each 3 trebles and 1 chain repeat 8 times (9 in total). In the last three spaces as follows 1st space 3 trebles 3 chains 3 trebles 1 chain. In the second space 3 trebles 1 chain. In the third space 3 trebles, 3 chains, 3 trebles 1 chain. Close the round with a slipstitch..

The other two circles as follows: 1st space: 3 trebles 3 chains 3 trebles 1 chain. Next 6 spaces 3 trebles 1 chain cast off after last repeat. 4 spaces remain.
Then it just says: Crochet the circles together whereby the with the upper two circles the parts without the light blue are next to each other.
Crochet round the whole thing as follows: In every space 3 trebles and 1 chain. Repeat 4 times (5 times in total). Crochet a cord and thread through the edge.

See how you go.

Just to say a 'stokje' is a treble, a 'losse' is a chain.

Best of luck.

Dear Dutchoma, you so kindly worked this out for me and I didn't even say thank you!!! So rude of me and, I'm sorry! I will print this out and have a go as soon as I have completed my granny square blanket. Thanks again for your kindness.

[Dutchoma]

I'm looking forward to seeing the result. Might be a while before you have joined your 400 square granny blanket together. But then, on the other hand you might get crochet withdrawal symptoms and have a sneaky go at this bike saddle cover.

That's very true, I always tend to start a project before I finish my current one anyway!!
