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.
