Yarn kit for the Olga Sweater by PetiteKnit.

This sweater has wonderful classic stripes and a super maritime look. You can wear it every day all year round, it is very robust and fluffy light.

You knit your Olga Sweater seamlessly from top to bottom and in rounds starting from the armholes. The variety of stripes makes knitting very motivating and almost happens by itself.

The Olga Sweater is knitted with Peer Gynt yarn from Sandnes. This classic is the oldest yarn quality from Sandnes and is made of pure wool. This means it is extremely dimensionally stable and very robust. The more you use it, the softer and more cuddly the sweater becomes!

size guide

The Olga Sweater should have a positive ease of approximately 23 cm in the smallest sizes, but progressively smaller in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) fit a chest circumference 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 can be found on the front of the pattern. Note: These measurements are only valid if the gauge is followed. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine the size that fits you best. If your chest (or widest part of your body) measures 95 cm, you should choose size M. A sweater in size M has a chest circumference of 118 cm and in this case would have a range of motion (positive ease) of 23 cm.
