Pattern Description:

I have always loved stripes. There is just something about them that makes me happy. A couple other things that make me happy; hockey and my toddler(my other kids too, but I only had enough yarn for one sweater!!). So, when I found this yarn, it screamed at me quite literally. The blue and gold were perfect old school Buffalo Sabres colors. I hope you have as much fun knitting it as I did!
