Crochet Cardigan - Winnipeg Jets Playoff Edition

When do you do when you're crafty AF and your ALSO your team's headed to the playoffs? You make a sweater in your team's colours so you can show your team spirit in the most handmade of fashions of course!

A few weeks back, I was browsing around Ravelry and experienced love at first sight when I laid eyes on the Mountain Forest Cardigan. I immediately purchased the pattern and went straight to the craft store. I knew I didn't want to go with the colour scheme modeled in the pattern...and it didn't take me too long to imagine myself cozied up for the playoffs in the Jets colours!

So here's what I came up with...

So this is my super comfy team spirit cardi. I finished it the night before Game One and gave it a washing and blocking just in time for Winnipeg's first playoff win. I used Patons Classic Wool Worsted in Navy as the Main Colour, with the accents in Light Grey Marl, Dark Grey Marl, and Bright Red. It has a great weight and thickness to it, perfect for these chilly, winter-like spring days we've been having. It even has pockets so you can keep your hands warm!

So I'll pretty much be living in this...except for DURING games, when white must be worn for the Winnipeg Whiteout! Apparently, you have to wear white even if you are only watching at home, according to my husband anyway!

I'm loving this sweater so much, I've started another in Patons Classic Wool Worsted Cognac Heather as the main colour. I'm going to switch up some of the details as I go to keep it interesting, can't wait to show the next one off to you all.

Have a great weekend everyone...and of course...GO JETS GO!
