PetiteKnit Olga jacket yarn kit

PetiteKnit Olga jacket yarn kit

PetiteKnit Olga jacket yarn kit using Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt yarn.

Kit includes:

• Paper copy of the pattern
• Yarn 
• 6 x official PetiteKnit buttons for the project 
• An official PetiteKnit label

If you'd like to build a yarn kit for this jacket in another colourway, then have a look at the shades I have in stock in Peer Gynt and drop me a line.  Currently out of stock of the buttons, but I can ship them separately once they are back in stock.

Size guide

The Olga Jacket is designed to have approx. 23 cm [9 inches] of positive ease in the smaller sizes and then gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit 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 for the finished sweater are listed on the front page of the pattern. Please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is maintained throughout. Measure yourself before starting your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 95 cm [37½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a bust circumference of 118 cm [46½ inches] which in the given example would give you 23 cm [9 inches] of positive ease.
