The Olivia Sweater is an oversized sweater. The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch. First, the back piece is worked flat with short rows to shape the shoulders, before stitches are picked up for the shoulders to then work the front piece. The work is then joined, and the body is worked in the round. After that, stitches are picked up for the sleeves, and these are worked. Both the body and sleeves are finished with long double rib cuffs. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckline, which is also worked in double rib.
