PetiteKnit Olga sweater pattern The PetiteKnit Olga sweater pattern on approximately A5 sized paper. There is already a yarn kit in the Navy Blue/Almond Tweed colourway in the Yarn Kits section of the store. If you would like to order the yarn to make this pattern in another colourway please drop me a line. The PetiteKnit Olga sweater is knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch with stripes. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth with the slope of the shoulders being knitted using short rows and in stripes, which are worked at the same time. Each shoulder is then worked back and forth on a circular needle, and then the shoulders are joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle with stripes. The sleeves are worked down from stitches that are picked up and knitted around the armholes. At the end, a folded neck edge is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neckline.
