CONSTRUCTION
Taking into consideration the construction of the sweater which will be the warmest of all, I found out that it must be first of all a pullover. Any holes in it allow the wind and cold get close to the body creating cold spots and loose of warmth.
So # 1 - Pullover.
Second of all, all sweaters which were used during long expeditions were as seamless as possible.
I suppose knitted in the round bottom up for making the gusset or another underarm shaping.
So # 2 - As seamless as possible. Body knitted in the round.
Should it be raglan pullover or set-in sleeves? Look, if we knit raglan sleeves we make increases (or decreases if we knit bottom-up) which want it or not, even if your knitting is super tight create small unevenness and holes in that places where we make m1l or m1r or using invisible way. Therefore the construction is set-in sleeves (or steeked sleeves) like in ganseys and jerseys.
So # 3 - Gansey or jersey sleeve construction.
As it must be knitted in the round and sleeves should be sort-of set-in, for the best shaping the body, depending on the gender we must make the construction bottom-up. This will allow us to try the work on the go.
#4 - Bottom-up.
The neck should be covered, therefore something in between the funnel neck and a double turtle neck or mock turtle is the best. Let's see. It must be double to protect the nape of the neck but not be too high to irritate or to be high enough to replace the scarf which is uncomfortable extra layer in case of expedition or sport.
#5 - Double-thick high funnel neck.
So # 1 - Pullover.
