Olga Blouse The Olga Blouse is a beautifully simple striped pullover, worked seamlessly from the top down in soft stockinette stitch. With clever shoulder shaping, a folded neckband, and subtle short-row shaping, it offers a refined silhouette perfect for layering or wearing solo. Alternating stripes keep the knitting engaging and the result visually striking. Sleeves and body are finished in the round for a polished look.
