Olga Sweater - Paper
Olga Sweater is knitted from the top down in stripes. First, the top part of the back piece is knitted back and forth, where the slope of the shoulders is formed with shortened needles (reversible needles), while at the same time the stripes are knitted. Then the shoulders are knitted separately back and forth on circular needles. These are gathered at the front to form the front piece. The front and back piece are then gathered to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles with stripes. The sleeves are knitted from open sts along the sleeve opening. Finally, the folded neckline of the neck is knitted from open sts.
