Olimpia
Olimpia is a wrap-over style pullover with set-in sleeves. The pattern sections are worked from the bottom-up to simplify shaping in pattern. The body ribbing section is worked from the top-down to for easy length adjustment. Worked in sport weight yarn it is a versatile lightweight garment comfortable to be wore indoor. As a plus, it works well as a nursing garment too.
Both written and charted directions are given for the stitch pattern. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
