Contrary is a simple stockinette sweater, where you can play with the expression yourself, by inserting garter stitch, effect yarns, glitter or scraps.
Contrary sweater is knitted sideways. First the back piece is knitted, from side to side, while decreasing and increasing the neck opening, then the front piece in the same way. The two pieces are sewn together at the shoulders and the neck rib is knitted before the sleeves. Then you pick up stitches for the sleeves and when they are knitted, the sides are sewn together and the lower rib is knitted.
