Olga's Jacket by Olga Putano mYak Tibetan Cloud Yarn Kit
Olga’s Jacket is the ultimate cozy knit - the one you reach for on a chilly morning, style effortlessly throughout the day, and rely on for crisp evening walks. A classic, timeless piece destined to become a cherished heirloom.
The garment is worked continuously, in one piece - triangle by triangle, in garter stitch and ribbing. Surprisingly easy - only a handful of techniques are used, but extremely engaging and fun!
The body and sleeves are worked flat, then seamed together. Stitches are picked up to work the neckband, after which the pockets are created. The jacket is finished by picking up stitches at the bottom and working the fold over hem. From start to finish - this project will be just as comforting and exciting to knit as it will be to wear!
