It is like a high neck pullover, but the neck is just 4-5 cm high and most times not folded, usually for women.
Please specify if your proposed translation is US or UK. I need the latter but it would be intertesting to see if there is a difference.
Many thanks for your help.
(It is not very urgent.)

Comment: "I will go for 'turtleneck jumper'.
Funnel is also interesting but possibly a bit higher than the 'turtleneck'. I think that the 'polo neck' is folded, whilst 'polo shirt' is the traditional tennis shirt. A bit confusing. It seems that some catalogues and web sites give different definitions to the same type of neck.
Many thanks to all of you.

mock turtle neck
In the States a turtle neck is the higher version that is often folded over.
A mock turtle is the one you refer to.

For us a crew neck would be a simple close round neckline. I\'m surprised to see that it seems there are no specific terms in British English for these various necklines.

crew neck sweater
UK. Website example below although there are many examples of "round neck sweaters" also called "crew neck" (erroneously in my view).
Second example is US picture of "funnel neck sweater (new to me).
