An expanding Stockinette stitch center sets the stitch panels and outer panels on a tilt. More of a tabard than a true pullover, the underarm seams are sewn together only at the ribbing, leaving the sides open. Self-finished i-cord edges worked as you knit, the lack of neck and shoulder shaping, and knitting the shoulders together rather than sewing them means once those tiny seams in the ribbing are done, you are done.
