Not reversible.
The CO edge is the length.
The body is knit using the garter stitch & rib stitch for the top edge.
The body is knit flat, back & forth using circular needles, if your size requires few enough stitches you could knit it using straight needles. I find the circular needles to be easier on my hands though.
First you’re going to knit the body section and then pick-up the stitches of a long edge on the body section to knit in top ribbing.
For the top edge, the circular needles are used to accommodate the large number of stitches you need to pick up.
Knit 2 rectangles, block with a steamer, knit the top ribbing, sew 2 side seams to create the arm holes and then sew 2 top seams to create the head hole.
