When knitting the legs and sleeves, you can choose whether to knit using the magic loop method or with DPN’s. The body and yoke are knitted back and forth on a circular needle. Finally, a facing for the zipper is knitted so that the zipper also looks neat from the inside. If desired, you can replace the zipper with buttons.
