Olga sweater- Petiteknit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

You can knit it in the yarn Vidde or Varde from Hillesvåg or in Heavy Merino from Knitting for Olive.

Olga Sweater is knitted from top to bottom in stripes. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth, and a shoulder slope is formed using shortened rows, while knitting stripes. The shoulders are then knitted separately back and forth on a circular needle. These are then joined at the front to knit the front piece. Front piece and back are then joined to knit the body, which is knitted in the round on a circular needle with stripes. The sleeves are knitted based on the stitches picked up along the armhole. The double-fold neck edge of the neck is knitted very last based on the stitches picked up.

Size guide

Olga Sweater should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 23 cm in the smallest sizes but progressively smaller in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, measured on the body, of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 ( 100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished sweater are given on the front of the pattern. Note that these measurements only apply if the stitch strength is maintained. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If you e.g. measures 95 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size M. A sweater in size M has an overall width of 118 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 23 cm.
