Not prone to burnt crusts or seepy fillings, Jojô Tricot’s Easy As Pie Pullover is, in fact, easier than pie! Easy but not boring, the designer behind Jojô Tricot, Paula Leme, is expert at basic constructions with irresistible details, like here, her combination of all-over seersucker stitch framed by 1×1 ribbing. To make the Easy As Pullover, you just knit the back and front separately, with no shaping at all, join them at the shoulders and sides, and then either call it done for a vest version, or pick up for the sleeves and work a couple inches of ribbing for short sleeves or keep going for long ones. Paula knit up her Pullover in our beautiful Partridge merino, a wonderful choice both for its incredible feeling and also because its single-ply structure softens the stitches for an overall cozy feeling... A real recipe for success!

NOTE: We knit this sweater in our original Partridge yarn but have since updated the pattern to use Partridge Superwash. Some sizes now require more skeins because Partridge Superwash has a bit less yardage than the original Partridge.
