The Olga Sweater by PetiteKnit is a modern take on the classic nautical stripe pullover, balancing casual comfort with clean Scandinavian minimalism. Designed with a relaxed, boxy silhouette and generous positive ease, it offers a slightly oversized fit that drapes neatly over high-waisted denim or tailored trousers. Its defining features include a thick, double-folded crew collar that provides a crisp frame around the face, along with softly sloped drop shoulders that allow for comfortable movement without adding unnecessary bulk under a winter coat. The overall vibe is rustic yet refined, the ultimate elevated basic for cold-weather layering.
The kit includes the following colourways in the required quantities on British DK from Les Garçons. The pattern is not included; it is available on Ravelry.
Colour 1 (3 or 4 skeins, 100 g): “Jonathan's Soft Day”
Colour 2 (2 to 4 skeins, 100 g): “Black Rose”
