PATTERN INFORMATION

Crossery is worked from the top down, beginning with a provisional cast-on at the back. Short rows are worked for a better fit at the shoulders. The back and fronts are then worked separately to the underarm, flat in rows of Loom Stitch. The fronts are worked with increases that create a diagonal shape. Once the front pieces are finished, they are joined using a method similar to the three-needle cast-off but without casting off the stitches, overlapping the pieces to create a crossed effect. The front and back are then joined to work the body in the round. Once the garment is completed, the armhole and front stitches are picked up to finish with a ribbed edge and an I-cord respectively.
