Knit from the top down, this pullover features a placket front with 2-3 buttons to close top of sweater. Sweater is knit seamlessly and when the knitting is complete, so is the sweater. The alphabet chart is included, but the knitter can decided what is knit into the sweater. The letters can go all around the chest of the sweater. Gauge is not too critical since the size of the sweater is determined by the length of the yoke and it can be changed as the sweater is knit.
