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

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).
