Oliwin is a casual and cozy everyday sweater worked seamlessly from the top down. It features relaxed shaping at the body, a crew neck with a higher back neck, and sleeves which taper toward the cuff.

After completing the yoke in the round, four short rows are worked across the back section to finish the yoke shaping and create a higher back neck. Then the body is worked evenly in rounds.

After the body is complete, the sleeves are worked top down to the cuffs. Decreases are evenly placed along each sleeve creating a taper towards the cuff.

The sweater’s length is adjustable, as well as the sleeve length.
