I charted out this design for my young nephew, Ben (7), who told me he wanted an OSU sweater for Christmas with a big Block O on it. “But,” he said, “it can’t just be a boring Block O, Aunt Heather. It has to be the kind with the leaf in it.” Well Ben – here you go!

This sweater uses both intarsia and Fair Isle knitting techniques. I used one skein of red yarn throughout and just carried it behind when knitting with either green or grey yarn.

This chart can be used for plenty of other projects as well – such as sweaters, blankets, towels, washcloths, etc. Heck – you can even use thinner yarn for a sock design if you’d like. For a blanket, you can easily knit two stitches per block rather than just one per block as I’ve done with Ben’s sweater.

Good luck and GO BUCKS! :-)

To avoid any copyright entanglements, I’m not charging for this pattern. Please just enjoy and show your support for the Buckeyes as best you can!
