The Baseball Sweater

**IMPORTANT NOTE: This pattern does not include any logos:** While I cannot replicate any logos here, I have included alternative baseball themed colourwork to add around the band, as well as some instructions to help you start off in creating your own motif. I am unable to replicate or design any logos for you :slightly_smiling_face: **If you are looking for a lighter version – I also have a [DK version of this sweater which includes a short-sleeved option][1]** Now for the fun stuff: This is based off the original baseball sweater I knit during the Toronto Blue Jays' World Series. It's unisex sweater design with a longer yoke, a bit like those retro, cozy sweaters your grandmother may have knit. You can wear it with a fair bit of positive ease or it can also sit slightly tighter, as shown on the models. The white band of the sweater can be a canvas for your own sporty design, and I have included some other options that can go here – including an alphabet, diamond, heart, pennant and maple leaf. I also include some suggested designs that incorporate TORONTO and the other symbols around the yoke. This can also easily be adapted to a different baseball team by adapting the colourway and creating your own design. **50% of the sales of this pattern will be donated to Jays Care (no affiliation).** **This is not affiliated with the Blue Jays or MLB and does not contain any of their trademarked materials.** FIT For a looser fit: choose a size approximately 8-12 cm (3-5 inches) larger than your body circumference taken at the underarm.
