Olive’s Wrap - Knitting Kit

Olive’s Wrap is worked back and forth bottom up. Front pieces and back are worked as one piece until armhole. Sleeves are then worked on double pointed needles in the round and added to the body where all pieces are joined with raglan decreases.
The sweater is finished adding either buttons and crocheted straps for button holes or knitting and attaching i-cord strings to keep the front pieces in place.
