This intermediate pattern captures the chaotic charm of the league’s favorite “villain” in his off-season element. Relaxed but still full of personality, he’s the perfect companion to stitch alongside Shane. Whether he’s causing a bit of trouble or just enjoying the cottage air, creating this little legend is a total win. Don’t let the cool exterior fool you—this project is all heart. Grab your hook and complete the duo!
