Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Derby has been slowly creeping into everyday media and products, but it still feels like there are never enough objects out there to show your love of derby. This sweater shows the world exactly what you think about your favorite skating sport! Warm and soft, the sweater itself is pretty simple to knit. Knit in two pieces, with the sleeves picked up and knit after the front and back are seamed together, it makes a good weekend project. Intarsia is used to create the I ♥ Derby on the front.”
