Yarn kit for the Olga Jacket by PetiteKnit.

The Olga Jacket has beautiful basic stripes and looks undoubtedly beautiful and magically maritime. It simply always fits, you will wear it all the time.

The striped pattern not only makes this cardigan a visual highlight but also ensures that you have a lot of fun knitting it, because stripes are motivating.

You knit your Olga Jacket seamlessly from top to bottom and in rows from the armholes. The jacket is easy to knit. It is made with Peer Gynt from Sandnes Garn, the classically beautiful yarn for every occasion. Peer Gynt is super robust and original, it gets softer with wear. As a pure wool yarn, it is fluffy and light and keeps its shape beautifully.

size guide

The Olga Jacket should have a positive ease of approximately 23 cm in the smaller sizes and a gradually smaller range of movement in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) fit a chest measurement 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 jacket can be found on the front page. Measure yourself before you start knitting to find the size that fits you best. If your chest circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 95 cm, you should choose size M, as this has a chest circumference of 118 cm and the freedom of movement in the example given is 23 cm.
