Narrative:

On the olympia arrival I misread the 'as published' holding pattern. When we were cleared to hold at battle ground as published I looked at and flew the published holding pattern at the olympia VOR. The captain missed this as well. It was discovered by the captain on the outbound leg. As far as I know there was no conflict and no comment from ATC.
