Pattern available in French and English.

The Olga Jacket is knitted from the top down with stripes. It begins with the back yoke, worked back and forth, while shaping the shoulder slope with short rows and incorporating the stripes at the same time. Each shoulder is then knitted separately back and forth on a circular needle. The back and fronts are then joined at the armholes to form the body, which is knitted back and forth on a circular needle, still with stripes. The sleeves are then knitted downwards from stitches picked up around the armholes. Finally, the button bands and the ribbed neckband are knitted from picked-up stitches.

The Olga Jacket is designed to have approximately 23 cm [9 inches] of positive ease in the smallest sizes, then slightly less ease in the larger sizes. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust circumference of 75–80 (80–85) 85–90 (90–95) 95–100 (100–110) 110–120 (120–130) 130–140 (140–150) cm [29½–31½ (31½–33½) 33½–35½ (35½–37½) 37½–39½ (39½–43¼) 43¼–47¼ (47¼–51¼) 51¼–55 (55–59) inches]. The measurements of the finished garment are indicated on the first page of the pattern. Please note: these measurements are accurate only if the recommended gauge is maintained throughout the knitting. Take your measurements before starting to determine the ideal size. For example, if your bust circumference (or widest bust circumference) is 95 cm [37½ inches], choose size M. Size M has a bust circumference of 118 cm [46½ inches], which gives you 23 cm [9 inches] of positive ease in this example.
