Olga Sweater Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Olga Sweater
The Olga Sweater is a modern striped pullover worked seamlessly from the top down in stockinette stitch. The construction begins with a shaped back yoke using short rows, followed by shoulder shaping and joining to create the front yoke. The body is worked in the round with two-tone stripes, and the sleeves are picked up and worked in the round from the armholes. The sweater is finished with a folded neckline for a clean and polished look. It’s designed with a relaxed fit and subtle shaping, making it a stylish, wearable knit for all sizes.
