The colourwork band in this design reminds us of olives, so we named this for one of our faves (it’s also such a pretty word.) Worked in our Bonny DK, this cropped sweater is perfect for shoulder seasons. Throw it on over a summer dress to extend its life into fall and spring!

Choosing a Size: This top is designed to be worn with at least 4” of positive ease. If you have wide shoulders or prefer a deeper armscye, you may wish to size up. Sample shown is size 2.

Getting Gauge: If required, change needle sizes to maintain the same gauge in colourwork and plain stockinette. Sample was knit using 4.5mm (US 7) needle for colourwork section only.
