The Mattthew Sweater Man from the Sandnes collection 2412 is a casual men's pullover that becomes special with its practical zipper and lovely details. The sweater is worked from top to bottom. First, you knit the back, which gets its shape using short rows. Then you pick up stitches from the shoulders for the two front parts, which increase towards the neck and are also shaped with short rows. Since a zipper is incorporated, the front parts can only be joined together from a certain depth.
From the armpit height, the body is knitted seamlessly in the round up to the cuff. For the sleeves, you pick up stitches from the armholes and work them in stockinette stitch, also in the round, up to the cuff. After that, stitches are picked up for the ribbed collar. This is also shaped with short rows so that it stands nicely at the front and keeps the neck comfortably warm.
Finally, you pick up stitches around the zipper opening to work the edge neatly, and then sew in the zipper.
