The NFL Meets Cascade 220 Yarn List!!!

Here it is...The List

NFL team colors, matched up with Cascade 220 yarns to the best of my ability. If you disagree, I don't care, I had fun doing this.

Hat ideas...
Stripes, Main Color and then "Go Your Team Name" in Contrast Color, again Stripes.
(This is actually done in Western Michigan University Colors-You get the gist)
Scarf ideas...

Also note, I am not a fan of all 1 million teams, and I live in the Midwest, so I am not accustomed to some of the weird colors like "coral" or "teal." Things like "snow" or "blizzard" I get. These teams are marked with an *.

My Favorite Team(s)
Lions-But they are a heart break team, so with the help of Marshall (Ogre's Dad), in '99 I added
Colts
Patriots-I loved them, but now that they are big fat cheaters, I don't know. I also miss their old uniforms if I'm going to be judgmental. No, I still love them.
So, happy knitting, cheers, and good luck!

This project was able to be done due to the nice people at Stitching Memories. I would like to thank them for making this possible. I'd also like to thank them for special ordering yarn for me, and fueling my addiction, and not laughing at me.

Please keep in mind, they can special order for you too.

Also...SUPER BIG THANKS TO CASCADE!!! Thanks for having so many darn useful colors! I may be blind in one eye, but really, it was worth it.

What's my favorite cascade color? Well, I am fascinated by 9465B, aka Cleveland Browns' Orange.

I love orange, but why does Cascade have a special Orange that matches the Browns and is labeled "b?" Curious. Is there a story, are they fans, does anyone else wonder? Where is Jimmy Hoffa???

Knit Yourself Some Team Spirit-Sucker

Ok, so it's officially Football Season and you want to quickly get your team spirit on, but what to do?

Knit a hat. It's quick, it's easy Go Team!


NFL Team Hat

That's about 20 stitches/4" on size 8 needles, but I would go for a size 7, because I swear I never have a size 8 around.

Go Patriots! Get those Jets!
809 Red Cascade 220 Superwash (Get 2 skeins-Your brother will want a hat too)
813 Blue Cascade 220 Superwash (Get 2 skeins-see above)

Knit a cap that fits your head. I helped you with Team Colors, what more do you want?


Oh, your team's colors...I'm still working on matching Cascade 220 yarn to each Team but hey, it's only been a day, and there were like 20 zombies to fight just to get this information...

Yes, yes, I realize there was a book called something like "college knits" a few years back doing like the same thing, blah, blah. But really, when the Ogre gets excited about a knitting project, and actually encourages knitting, I have to go with it.

Besides, don't you think this would make excellent holiday gifts. If you are a relative, you could give a shout out about your favorite team, and then promptly forget you ever read this...
