The Hollander

**Perfect for when you are down at the rink watching the home team score another win. Complete with your favourite player's name and number. You know it’s gonna be a barnburner.** This sweater is a blend of vintage Norwegian sportswear, Scandinavian knitting traditions and a spoonful of hockey romance. Keep it oversized to fit all that passion. This sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up with raglan decreases in the yoke. We want to create patterns that are easy to follow, even for beginners. We have listed all the steps you need to follow in bullet points. This way, you can easily track your progress and mark the steps you have completed.
