The pullover is worked from top down and begins with the ribbed collar. Isager Tweed is a single spun yarn and it is, thus, unsuitable for knitting in the round using circular needles. Unlike a plied yarn, a single spun yarn is unbalanced and will bias or warp in one direction when knitting in the round. This feature has been taken into account in the knitting instructions for this sweater. The sweater will be worked back and forth in rows and then later sewn together along the center back. Or, as an option, a button placket can be knitted at the center back.

3mm (US 2) in circular and double-pointed needles
