This sweater started out to be an NFL Sweater for a Cincinnati Bengals fan. However, as I worked on it, I saw a Halloween Sweater emerge. So this pattern can be used for dualk purposes . . Halloween and one’s favorite PRO/College/High school Sports team.

To make it more “Halloween-y” I found some dog-bone buttons on eBay and used them as “skeleton buttons.” They just added to the overall effect of the Halloween Theme.

The sleeves turned out a little “wonky” in the pictures. Don’t know why. In person, they really do look like the sleeves on a “letter jacket.” I’m thinking it is the texture of the yarn. I made a similar pattern with another yarn and the sleeves laid perfectly flat.

I used the Brain Dead Hat Pattern from SmoothFox as an accompaniment. This is another pattern I just LOVE to pieces.
