Yarn pack for the Olga Sweater by PetiteKnit.

This sweater features wonderfully classic stripes and a wonderfully nautical look. You can wear it every day all year round; it is very durable and light and fluffy.

You knit your Olga Sweater seamlessly from the top down, working in the round from the armholes onward. The changing stripes make knitting very motivating and the project will almost knit itself.

The Olga Sweater is knitted with Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn. This classic is Sandnes’ oldest yarn quality and is made from pure wool. It holds its shape exceptionally well and is very durable. With use, the sweater becomes increasingly softer and wonderfully cozy!

Size Guide

The Olga Sweater is designed to have approximately 23 cm of positive ease in the smallest sizes, with progressively less ease in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) fit a body bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The finished sweater measurements can be found on the front page of the pattern. Please note: These measurements apply only if the gauge is maintained. Measure yourself before beginning the actual knitting to determine which size suits you best. If your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 95 cm, you should choose size M. A size M sweater has a bust circumference of 118 cm and would therefore have 23 cm of positive ease in this case.
