When I first met my husband, I knew he liked baseball. Now that we’ve been married for a few years, I realize I was wrong. He doesn’t like baseball. He loves baseball. Few things make him happier than an afternoon at the ballpark. He divides his year into two seasons: October and Almost October.
I am not the only woman in the world married to this sort of sports lover, so I designed this fun, flirty sweater for all the sports widows I know. Worked in the round, this top-down raglan uses seed stitch instead of seams for stability and flair.
It’s equally at home at the ballpark for those early season games- so cold in the upper decks!- or at your favorite bar. Cheering for a sports team is totally optional, but I have to say: there are worse ways to spend a Saturday then knitting with french fries and a beer.
I am proud to offer this newest pattern for sale for all women who want a figure flattering pullover. Of course, baseball enthusiasm is purely optional.

I've got High Hopes for this sweater and this baseball season as well! In our home, our life is divided into two seasons: the Dark Time and Baseball. Our season tickets arrived this week and it has the whole house smiling a little bigger, knowing that the Dark Time is almost over.
