This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
Novice Slipover Man is knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch. First the back piece is knitted, and then stitches are picked up in the cast-on edge of the back piece to form shoulders, which are later joined at the front to knit the front piece. The back and front piece are then joined under the armhole to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. Finally, rib edges are knitted along the neckline and armholes. There are instructional videos for all steps in the pattern.
