EGEO is an oversized, seamless pullover knit from the top down. The back is knit from the provisional cast on at the shoulders. The two fronts are knitted in the opposite direction from the provisional cast on too. At the underarms the garment is joined in the round and the sweater is continued to the desired length. The stitches along the armholes are picked up and the sleeves are knitted top down. A beautiful lace section embellishes the entire project.
The back seems slightly longer than the front thanks the unusual construction without short-rows.
