Say Aloha to Ola Lola! This all-over lace boxy sweater is so freaking cute. Ola Lola showcases my unique side-to-side Novus construction with a subtle V-neck. It has a split hem at the side panels which provide the flexibility you need as you move throughout your day. Plus, it has an easily memorizable 10-stitch lace pattern that creates a rippling of waves across the sweater.
The pattern for Ola Lola is 25% off through June 1st! No coupon code needed.
The best part? The sleeves can be customized to three different lengths: long, short, or cap sleeve! Whether you choose to knit it in wool for a warm, long-sleeve version or opt for silk linen for a breezy summer piece, Ola Lola is whatever you need her to be.
The pattern is size-inclusive, accommodating bust measurements from 27” to 67”. If you prefer a more fitted look, simply size down. If you love a boxy sweatshirt style fit, choose a larger size. Finally, the pattern includes spreadsheets for every size so you can keep track of your stitch count while you knit. It’s like a navigator for your knitting!
I've set up a thread in my Ravelry group, let me know your questions there! I'm happy to get you knitting!
