Punkrock Meets Grandpa is like the marriage of a Breton Fisherman’s sweater and a punkrocker with pins everywhere…
It has a granddad or henley neck, rounded hems and long sleeves.
It’s knit in the round, contiguous, bottom-up. The sleeves are knit separate and combined with the body at the start of the arm opening. The neckband is picked up and knit. During the knitting you place your own holes, ladders and rips, at random, or using the template provided. The back is plain, but there’s nothing stopping you from making it holey as well…
