This pattern is knit in three pieces, and I like to think there’s a little something for everyone here. The front and back are knit flat, and the cap is knit in the round. If you really hate seaming, you can easily adapt this to be knit entirely in the round. If you’re not comfortable knitting in the round, you can skip the cap. It’s pretty much a cosmetic feature - the opening of a hot water bottle doesn’t get particularly hot, I find.
