Crossandra Sweater is designed with a relaxed, oversized fit and worked top down. The back yoke is worked first, with the shoulders shaped using short rows. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulders to work the front yoke. Once both yokes are complete, they are joined, and the body is worked in the round. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches around the armhole openings. After the sleeves are finished, a decorative applied i-cord is worked around each cuff. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neck to work the neck edging.

The sweater has approx. 14-18 cm / 5.5-7 inches of intended positive ease at the bust area. Sizes 0-3m (3-6m, 6-12m, 12-18m, 18-24m, 2-3y, 3-4y) are designed to fit a chest circumference of 41 (43, 46, 49, 52, 54, 56) cm / 16.1 (16.9, 18.1, 19.2, 20.4, 21.2, 22) inches.
