Notes

I found the folded and hemmed collar looked too bulky, so I just knit three inches and bound off - worked perfectly I think.

While I enjoyed not having to seam - working in the round on the yoke was cumbersome due to the weight of the project.

I would also suggest waiting until complete and measuring opening before buying a zipper - my opening was longer than the zipper specified. It looks okay, but I wouldn’t mind a slightly longer one.

A terrific man sweater at any rate and I will probably knit again.
