I call this the Eyes Closed Sweater because it requires minimal seaming, shaping, and styling.

It’s a great pattern for a more experienced knitter to pick up when they want an “in front of the TV” project, or as a first sweater/confidence booster for a novice. If you can knit and purl, you can make this sweater!

The torso area is worked in garter stitch, but could be easily altered/upgraded/improvised with your own fancier stitches.
