sideways knitting
It means you knit the garment horizontally rather than vertically: if it's a jersey, normally it would be from the bottom hem upwards, but in a sideways pattern the body of garment is formed from right to left.
Raglan sweaters may be knitted this way: you start at one sleeve cuff and work the sleeve, then the front, then the other sleeve, so it starts narrow, gets wide, then narrow again.
