Yarn kit for the Olga Jacket by PetiteKnit.

The Olga Jacket features beautiful basic stripes, giving it an effortlessly beautiful and charmingly maritime look. It goes with everything, and you will wear it constantly.

The striped pattern makes this cardigan not only a visual highlight but also makes knitting it especially enjoyable, because stripes are motivating.

You knit your Olga Jacket seamlessly from the top down, then in rows from the underarms. The jacket is easy to knit. It is made with Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn, a classic, beautiful yarn for every occasion. Peer Gynt is highly durable and rustic, and becomes softer with wear. As a pure wool yarn, it is light and fluffy while retaining its shape beautifully. 

Size Guide

The Olga Jacket should have approximately 23 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes, with gradually 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 measurements of the finished jacket can be found on the cover page. Take your own measurements before you begin 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, as it has a bust circumference of 118 cm and the ease in this example is 23 cm.
