A polo-neck shirt
in the UK is a round necked shirt.

A V-Neck sweater
Typically worn with: collared shirts, also polo shirts
( tuck the shirt's collar into the sweater)

A turtle neck is
a jumper or sweater with a roll down collar.
Typically worn with:

Or to wear it on its own.

An open necked short sleeved
with collar and 2 or 3 buttons in Europe
is called a pique shirt or a tennis shirt
NOT a polo shirt.

Hooded sweater with polo collar

In the UK a sweater is also known as a jumper
(jumper has two meanings in the UK)
whereas in the US, a jumper is a sleeveless
dress that is worn over something.
The US term is similar to the second meaning
of jumper in the UK, it is similar to the
US jumper but worn as an apron.

Crew neck sweater.

collared shirt, but it can
look a little square.

White Hairs
Once a tiny child, now an old man.
White hairs to match the soft down.

How the heart gets hurt by life.
Beyond the Gateless Gate’s
Where craving ends.

The torso of a cardigan is often knit as a single piece in a simple back-and-forth manner.
By contrast, knitting a pullover as a single piece requires circular knitting.
Alternatively, the body of the cardigan may be knit in three pieces, one for the back and two for the front.

Although all types of necklines are found in cardigans, the V-neckline is especially popular.
The seam in front of a cardigan allows for many fashionable variations.

Basic Knitting patterns for men, in 5 sizes; 40 - 48 IN INCHES AND OUNCES ! FOR MEASUREMENTS IN CMS SCROLL DOWN
Knit a tension swatch first measure 4 X 4 INCHES and count the stitches and rows ; this is your gauge. You can use any knitting stitch and knit with any knitting yarn you like, if it has a similar gauge. Needle size is not so important, every knitter knits differently. When you are looking at a pattern, it is the gauge or tension swatch that really matters. This is the base for all my basic knitting patterns. If you have more or lesser rows in your tension swatch, follow the length given in cm's instead of rows, in a pattern, this way it will fit always. Tips for regular inch increments 17.7 = 17.75 = 17 3/4 inches. 18,8 = 18.75 = 18 3/4 inches. 9.9 = 10 inches and so on. Knowing this will make it easy to just round up or down as they are such small increments.
Picture of clothes model click and see what your pattern will look like the numbers; for instance 8 x 12 = your gauge so you have to knit a tension swatch first then choose your pattern with the right gauge
