Maiija Crossover is worked top down in one piece with raglan increases without a centre stitch. First, an I-cord is worked from where stitches are picked up for both front pieces, sleeves and the back piece. The body is finished with a twisted ribbing and closed with buttons. The balloon sleeves are worked in the round and finished with a pretty I-cord edge.
