Olga Jacket The Olga Jacket is a striped, top-down cardigan featuring tailored shaping and clean finishes. It begins with a shaped back yoke using short rows and continues into the shoulders, which are knit separately. The front and back are then joined at the underarm to form the body, worked flat in stripes. Sleeves are picked up and knit in the round from the armholes. Finally, the front plackets and neckband are picked up and finished with a tidy ribbed edge and button closure. The jacket is designed with approximately 23 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes, gradually narrowing in the larger sizes for a flattering, relaxed silhouette.
