Notes: I changed a couple of things, first I didn’t install a zipper. Instead of patterning the front and ribbing the back, I moved the ribbing to the underarms and patterned the centre of both front and back. I created the colour scheme to reflect the New England Patriots. I really liked the pattern, the sleeves were a pain since each required that I have 5 balls going at the same time. I matched the lines PERFECTLY!
