Pattern OlaKofte

Pattern for OlaKofte 

Fair ilse knit and wool yarn are a very good combination. OlaKofta is inspired by an old jacket / kofte that my father had back in the 1950s. This version has extra long sleeves and is a cropped model. Which is a good model for dresses, trousers or skirts with a high waist. The pattern is easy and fun to knit.

The ribbing is worked flat on a circular needle, whereafter you cast on new stitches as “steek-sts”. Continue working in stockinette stitch in pattern in rounds on the circular needle. From the neckline on, you finish the jacket flat. The jacket is worked with 1 thread FINULL by Rauma. The jacket has a short, tight fit with long sleeves. In this instruction, many small buttons are used.
