This sweater is a quarter zip-up sweater. It has raglan sleeves with a saddle shoulder in 2 by 2 ribbing. The body is worked in stockinette stitch and the zipper is mounted to the zipper plackets and collar - both worked double knit.

The sweater is knitted top-down on circular needles. It is worked flat until the front neck opening is complete and afterwards it is worked in the round. After the body and sleeves have been completed the stitches for the zipper plackets are picked up and worked bottom-up on to the collar. At last, a zipper is sewn into the zipper plackets and collar.

The sweater has a classic fit, calculated with 5-10 cm/ 2-4 inches of ease. Sizes range from chest: 71-152 cm / 28-60 inches and are named (1, 2, 3) 4, 5, 6 (7, 8, 9). See picture for full size guide.
