Construction
The Mista Sweater is worked top-down and combines both knitting and crochet.

You begin with a knitted rib/rolled neckline, from which the crocheted yoke is worked.
On top of the crocheted yoke, a knitted section with raglan increases is worked.
The sleeves are then placed on hold while the body is knitted, and finally the sleeves are completed.

Choosing a Size
Select a size based on how much ease you want in your sweater.
Note that the armholes and neckline will also become proportionally larger or smaller depending on the size you choose.
As a reference: The beige/brown version is a size 4 (112 cm) and the light yellow/purple version is a size 5 (118 cm), both shown on a model with a 96 cm bust.
