Dieser wunderbare Pulli entstand im Zuge der Isager Kollektion: A Knitting Life – out into the world
The guide is in English and is part of the book.

We have intentionally kept the texts in English so that it is immediately apparent that it is an English manual.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The sweater is knitted from the top to the bottom. Stitches are cast on for the neckline. Then, the stitches of the yoke are increased evenly as worked in the sample. Sleeve stitches are set aside and additional stitches are cast on at the underarm locations to form the Body. The Body is worked in pattern to the desired length and finished with a band in ribbing. Then, the Sleeves are completed.
