The Good Ol' Hockey Sweater

As a Canadian, I've been surrounded by hockey my whole life, and this year I decided to turn this sport into a sweater! I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did! **Construction:** This sweater is knit top-down with a dropped-shoulder construction. The back yoke/panel is knit flat, then the shoulders are picked up on each side. These shoulders are then connected, and the front yoke/panel is knit flat. Once the player colourwork is complete, the front and back panels are joined in the round. The sleeves are picked up and knit flat for the duration of the player colourwork then similarly joined in the round. The garment is completed by sewing together any outstanding seams. **Sizes:** This garment is designed for 9 sizes and has ~25cm/10in of positive ease. Garments pictured are size 3 on a 90cm/35in bust. Body chest circumference: 73.5 (83.5) 94 (104) 114 (124.5) 134.5 (144.5) 155 cm // 29 (33) 37 (41) 45 (49) 53 (57) 61 in Garment chest circumference (including ease): 98.5 (108.5) 119 (129) 139 (149.5) 159.5 (169.5) 180 cm // 39 (43) 47 (51) 55 (59) 63 (67) 71 in **Gauge:** 20 sts x 26 rows worked in flat colourwork using 4.5mm (US size 7) needles and blocked should create a 10 x 10 cm/4 x 4 in square. **Materials:** Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn will do!
