Olga jacket - PetiteKnit

Olga Jacket - Pure delightful striping...!
Stripes, which are so fun to knit.

The Olga Jacket is knitted top-down with stripes. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth, and a shoulder slope is shaped using short rows, while knitting stripes. Then the shoulders are knitted separately back and forth on a circular needle. The front pieces and back are then joined to knit the body, which is knitted back and forth on a circular needle with stripes. The sleeves are knitted from stitches picked up along the armhole. The button band and ribbed neckline are knitted last from picked-up stitches.

Size guide

The Olga Jacket should have a positive ease of about 23 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The finished garment measurements are indicated on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 95 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size M. A size M jacket has a chest circumference of 118 cm and will in this example provide a positive ease of 23 cm.
