Picking up stitches in seed stitch pattern

I am knitting a sweater in seed stitch and need to pick up stitches along the neckline to form a turtleneck. Any advice on how to best pick up stitches in this pattern? I would appreciate any input.

Just pick them up the same, it won’t be noticeable, especially if you use a smaller needle for picking up, then knit those smaller sts with the regular needle.
