After I wrote the pattern for Hestia and knit my original sample in tosh sock, I decided to test out another yarn, Malabrigo Sock. I intended to use my sister Sarah as a model for this pattern, so I knit a smaller size than the one I would want for myself. However, Sarah went to Ireland in August and hasn't come home yet. I decided to put on the sweater I knit for her, and even though it's kind of too small, I still enjoyed wearing it. If I lose a few more pounds, this sweater will permanently become mine. Sorry, Sarah!
Pattern: Hestia by Jacquelyn Ridzy (me!)
Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in Impressionist Sky
Needles: US 6
While Malabrigo Sock does create a very soft, light fabric, I think I prefer a slightly thicker yarn like tosh sock for this pattern.
