Center back Seam:
Lay 2 pieces of rectangles side by side. Now, using a yarn needle and whip stitch to seam up the middle part together ( the center back panels, from the bottom up around 20 inches. Tie off and weave in ends.
Side Seams to create the arm hole:
Seam up each side of the kimono cardigan with a whip stitch or your prefer stitch method. Leave for the arm hole about 7- 8 inch long at the top upper end . You may adjust the how long of the arm hole to fit your size.

I am in the process of making this. I am not a tight crocheter at all but I don't have any of those open, breezy holes like you do. What can I do? I'm using the same yarn as you suggest and I've watched your videos. =/
