Vintage Inspired Baseball Knits!
I could not be more excited to announce that I’ve got a pattern collection coming out through Knit Picks on Wednesday! Vintage Inspired Baseball Knits, by Allyson Dykhuizen. Pretty exciting, right?
The COVER!
Inside is 6 patterns – 2 cardigans inspired by actual sweaters worn by major league baseball players at the turn of the century sized for both men and woman, 2 pretty women’s tops, a fun baby onesie inspired by pinstripe baseball uniforms, and a team color coordinating blanket to bring with you to chilly night games.
Vintage Inspired
In June of 2011 I wrote about my trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and about how surprised I was to see all the knitting. I started doing research to find more information about these sweaters, but wasn’t coming up with anything. So when Knit Picks contacted me about putting together a collection for them, I jumped at the chance, and pitched (ha!) them the idea of a baseball inspired collection.
And here we are! Nearly 2 years later, and on the verge of launching the collection. Get excited, guys! More on Wednesday!
So proud!

I am so excited about this! This last year DH saw a vintage Phillies sweater in a catalogue that he really wanted me to knit up. I’ve been trying to figure out how to knit this up, the exact colours, what yarn to use, and how much I will need to make this for him. I can’t wait for you to release this pattern!

Can we get this directly without going through Knitpicks?

Hi Sherry! No, you can’t get it without going though Knit Picks. Feel free to email me at allyson@thesweatshopoflove.com if you have any other questions! I’m happy to help you through that process or answer any questions you have about it.

DUDE! I saw this in my knitpicks catalog and did a little jig for you. Obviously I don’t know you personally, but it still feels like one of my friends is now a celebrity. I guess that’s the beauty of the independent designer program? Congrats! It’s an amazing collection, and I totally want to knit a vintage baseball sweater! (Why don’t baseball players still wear these? I think they would be super cute on modern guys).
Cheers!
