Heated Rivalry
Heated Rivalry
Ice. Cottage. Hollanov.
Some rivalries start on the ice. Some start on the pitch. This one starts the moment you pick up your hook.
The Heated Rivalry Set is a free pattern collection inspired by the hockey romance series about two men who are supposed to hate each other and are absolutely failing at it. A great pick for Hollanov fans, hockey romance readers, and anyone who needs a crocheted Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov on their shelf immediately. Whether you've been here since the books or you found them through the show, this collection is for you.
Four characters, plus the equipment they'd never admit they share.
What You’ll Learn
