Pattern description from Speed Racer: “I’m a design junkie and I truly believe that there is a lot of power in a thoughtfully placed stripe. From bullet trains and vintage racing cars to those hypnotic center lines on the freeway or the graceful ribbon of a skier’s path, a long stripe implies speed and direction and brands a player for sport. This racing stripe sweater allows you to pick his favorite team colors and go. Styled like a vintage ski sweater with a roomier jersey fit and a sleek long stripe from collar to cuff, it’s the perfect go-to sweater - whether he’s playing a game of just watching one on TV.”
