This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
Zipper Neck is knitted from the top down. The neckline is knitted in rib, which is folded double and knitted down. Then the shoulder section is knitted with increases on both the right and wrong sides, and shortened rows are knitted to shape the neckline. Then the front and back pieces are knitted. Finally, linings for the zipper are knitted from the remaining stitches, so that the zipper also looks nice from the wrong side. The zipper is finally attached by sewing it in between the two layers of knit.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right tension.
