The Boxy vest is knitted from the top down. First, knit the Right back piece, the Left back piece, then join these two parts together to knit the Back. Knit the Left front piece, the Right front piece, and then join these two parts together to knit the Front. Join the Front piece and the Back piece together to knit the Lower body. Pick up stitches around the neck and the armholes to create ribbing.
