They're specific that they want everyone to knit one of THEIR patterns so that when they deliver the sweaters, the kids are all getting the SAME sweater. Anyone who has had to deal with more than one child at a time for any reason knows that that makes perfect sense.

The "10th Anniversary" version of the sweater has a stockinette body, and I've been knitting that in the round.
Sure, theoretically it's the same as doing 'all garter stitch', but if you use a variegated yarn, you can PRETEND, right?
The top is still done in garter stitch, and the finished sweater matches the schemata and sews up with a few less seams.
Here's one side done, and the second side waiting to be picked up:
