Egeo
EGEO Sweater Pattern is a stunning oversized pullover designed for knitters looking to create a cozy, seamless garment. This beautiful piece is expertly knit from the top down, allowing for ease of customization and fit. The back section starts from a provisional cast-on at the shoulders, while the two front sections are knitted in the opposite direction from the same provisional cast-on. When you reach the underarms, the garment seamlessly joins in the round, and you will continue knitting until you achieve your desired length. The design features elegant armholes, with stitches picked up for the sleeves, which are also knitted from the top down. An intricate lace section beautifully embellishes this delightful project, adding a touch of sophistication and charm.
Circumference at Full Bust: 92 (101.5, 110, 120, 129) cm / 36 ¼ (40, 43 ¼, 47 ¼, 50 ¾) inch. For the perfect fit, choose a size with approximately 15-18 cm of positive ease. The sample is shown in size M with a lovely 15 cm of positive ease for that perfect relaxed look.
Yarn: You can use ***any fingering weight yarn that matches the gauge*** for this project. For reference, the original sample was created using a luxurious wool/cashmere blend yarn. The total yardage required will be approximately 900 (1100, 1200, 1300, 1450) meters, depending on the size you choose.
Needles: To create this beautiful EGEO pullover, you will need a circular needle measuring 40” (100 cm) in length, with shorter lengths or DPNs recommended for the sleeves if you prefer to avoid the Magic Loop method for knitting smaller circumferences. Ensure you have US 3 (3.25 mm) and US 4 (3.5 mm) needles on hand to achieve the correct gauge and create a stunning final product.
This EGEO pullover pattern is perfect for knitters of various skill levels, providing a rewarding challenge while resulting in a gorgeous finished sweater that will be a staple in your wardrobe. Explore the joy of knitting your own oversized pullover today!
