Cherry Pie is a long-sleeved, colorwork-yoked sweater with a zippered front. This pattern is designed to be comfortable and interesting to knit, with shaping happening both on the front and back of the sweater. Twisted rib edgings create textural interest, as well as the radiating decreases across the yoke.
