The Baseball Sweater Pattern is HERE!

In October 2025, I cast on a playoffs sweater at home alone in the UK during Game 4 of the Division Series when Toronto beat New York. The rule was I could only knit on game days, in the hopes that my team would go deep enough into the postseason for me to finish the sweater.


I struggled through colorwork watching games ending at 4 a.m. as the Jays fought back against Seattle to try and finish the ALCS at home.


I clenched it during a bumpy landing into Toronto, spilled ballpark mustard on it during Game 6, and cried into it when Springer hit the Dinger that ultimately secured the Pennant.


I randomly ran into John Schneider, and he kissed it.


I knit some of it live on the CBC World Series pre-game show.


When Addison Barger punched out that pinch-hit grand slam against the Dodgers,

I dropped it on the wet ground at Nathan Phillips Square.


It was my comfort blanket at 2 a.m. during the 18-inning blockbuster (I ran out of wool at the watch party in the 16th).


I finished the first sleeve watching Trey Yesavage make history in Game 5 and almost finished the second at the Scotiabank Arena, leaving just 9 rounds left on the cuff to finish—one per inning in Game 7.


I don’t think any of us were prepared for that final game to go to 11. I finished my sweater in the 9th, put it on, and hugged everyone around me tightly when it ended the way we all hoped it wouldn’t.


Despite the outcome, 2025 was a cinematic World Series run that united Canada—and I couldn’t be happier that this sweater was a small part of it.


A worsted/unisex pattern version of this sweater is now available


(DK/lighter version with a short-sleeved option to come)


This features Canadian wool Briggs and Little, who developed a special lighter blue "Jays Blue" to match :)


This is unisex sweater design with a longer yoke, a bit like those retro, cozy sweaters your grandmother may have knit. You can wear it with a fair bit of positive ease or it can also sit slightly tighter, as shown on the models.


This pattern does not include any logos: While I cannot replicate any logos here, I have included some instructions to help you start off in creating your own motif.


The white band of the sweater can also be a canvas for your own sporty design, and I have included some other options that can go here – including an alphabet, diamond, heart, pennant and maple leaf. I also include some suggested designs that incorporate TORONTO and the other symbols around the yoke.


This can also easily be adapted to a different baseball team by adapting the colourway and creating your own logo.



50% of the sales of this pattern will be donated to Jays Care (no affiliation).

This is not affiliated with the Blue Jays or MLB and does not contain any of their trademarked materials.
