In Greek mythology, 'Boreas' (/ˌbɔːri.əs/) is known as the god of the north wind. The sweater is inspired by the sweater silhouettes of the 90s, which often took inspiration from 'work-wear' and the more masculine constructions. This can be seen, for example, on the neck, which is inspired by polo collars, but without the entire collar, to preserve the feminine expression. Boreas has a relaxed and boxy fit, where the construction of the neck allows you to play with the styling, depending on how open you want to use the neck.

First, the back is knitted back and forth, where cables and box stitches are established. Then you pick up for the left shoulder/front piece, which is knitted separately, this also applies to the right shoulder/front piece, before joining the body. You then continue in the round until the desired length. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves which are knitted in Box stitch.
