Olga Jacket | PetiteKnit Printed Knitting Pattern

The Olga Jacket is worked from the top down with stripes. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth with the slope of the shoulders being shaped 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. The fronts and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked back and forth 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, the front plackets and the rib edge along the neck is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted.
