Irina Lin Designs Ola Top Pattern

Ola Top is worked by starting from the upper back up to the shoulder then separating for each front. Both fronts are knitted separately, then joined and knitted flat until the underarms. Stitches are picked up from the CO edge of the back, then the back and front are jointed together and knitted in the round for the rest of the body.
