Composition:
Casia Crossover is a feminine and short crossover jacket with raglan, puff sleeves, and a beautiful frontband. The jacket also has a wide ribbed hem which is supposed to be placed on the waistline. The hem is held together by 3 buttons on each side – the buttons are visible on the right side and invisible on the left side of the jacket. The jacket does not need any final sewing despite the puff sleeves, as they are shaped with the help of in- and decreases. The jacket is knit top down, so you can easily adjust the length at both the body and sleeves while knitting. The jacket is supposed to be worn with approx. 0-10 cm positive ease.

Needles:
The jacket is knit in Stockinette stitch knitting back and forth on a needle size 4 mm (80 cm). the ribbed hems are knit on circular needle size 3 mm (80 cm). I recommend double-pointed needles at the beginning of the project when you knit the neckband (the first part of the frontbands).

19 sts x 27 rows in stockinette stitch back and forth on needle size 4 mm = 10 x 10 cm.
