Size guide
The Olga Sweater 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.

I bought this to knit some socks for a Moomin loving friend. The wool is lovely and a pleasure to knit with. Ordering and delivery were quick and easy and I very much appreciated my Christmas stocking stitch marker.
Really happy with my lovely book. Excellent customer service, speedy well packaged delivery. I would happily recommend Treasure Modern Knitting, they have a great range of products too.
I’m really enjoying these patterns from PetiteKnit. They are printed on good quality paper, using A5 as the leaflet size. The perfect size to pop into a project bag!
The most accurate description of this yarn is Quality Basic. It has a lovely soft handle with some firmness, which makes it a great all rounder. The blend of wool and nylon means you can also use it for cosy DK socks too!
