OLIVIA SWEATER

Olivia Sweater is knitted top down with raglan increases. Reverse rows are worked along the rib of the neck to form the neckline. The sleeves and body are knitted in the round and both finished with a rib. The sweater has a two-tone stripe pattern.

Size selection: Olivia Sweater has a positive ease of movement of approximately 15 cm in relation to your chest measurement. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 95 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has a width of 110 cm and in the example mentioned will give a positive ease of movement of approximately 15 cm.
