Knitting for Olive - Olive Sweater Junior - Knitting Kit
Designed by Pernille Larsen - Knitting for Olive
Olive Sweater is a soft and light sweater featuring an allover lace pattern. It is worked seamlessly and in the round, beginning with the ribbed neckband, and continuing with the raglan-construction yoke. Then the sleeve stitches are held aside, to be finished after the body is complete. Ribbed edges finish the sleeves and the body.
Please note that the sweater is worked with 3.5 mm needles in the ribbed edges followed by either 4 mm / US6, 4.5 mm / US7 or 5 mm / US8 needles, depending on the chosen size.
In the same family, you will also find the sister patterns Olive Turtleneck, Olive Top, (kids), Olive Cardigan, Olive Cardigan (kids) and Olive Scarf.
