Remember the television show called “Happy Days”, in which Richie Cunningham wore a vintage off-white varsity letterman sweater, an oversized v-neck cardigan with three stripes on the left sleeve and his school letter on the front? You’d be surprised at how many people ask me if I can knit that sweater for them!
All of these designs can be customized to use your school colors. What better way to show your school spirit than to wear one of these designs to a football or basketball game, a meeting or other type of gathering. You can wear your school sweater with pride, knowing that the colors will be recognizable to all who see you.
Varsity Letterman sweaters are personal heirlooms, pieces of your own history which gain value as time passes. They are also just about impossible to find. If you’ve been looking around for a custom knitted school sweater which can be knitted in the colors of your alma mater, then you know what I mean.
If you have your own letter, a sweater can be designed just for you so that you can have the letter sewn onto the sweater after it is knitted. It’s not only college grads who purchase School Sweaters – I often get requests for sweaters to be given as gifts to older men and women, sometimes quite senior in age. A Varsity Sweater makes a wonderful and thoughtful gift.
Lady Letterman Sweater shows that a
letterman-style sweater can be feminine and
graceful. This modern, updated version of
the vintage classic has a modified swing-style
A-line shape and longer, flared sleeves.
If you’d like an updated version of the classic, traditional Letter Sweater, take a look at the Fraternity Sweater, which is a longer, tunic-length v-neck cardigan, oversized but not slouchy, with an extra-deep v-neckline, pockets and a letter outlined in contrast color.
Looking for a pullover sweater in your school’s colors? You can choose to have a sweater with a single large initial on the front, or with the full name of your school or university
knitted into the design of the front of the
sweater.
