Simple things are often the best.

Olki is a relaxed boxy sweater with a simple but elegant stitch pattern on the front. The sweater is worked seamlessly top-down, starting at the back shoulders. It has long sleeves and a boxy shape with no waist shaping. The shoulders are shaped with short rows. The sweater gets its neat finishing touches from the folded cuffs, neckline and hem.
