The Hestia Cardigan

Explore the charm of this beautifully designed sweater pattern that is expertly worked flat from the bottom up as a single piece until reaching the armholes. At this stage, the fronts and back panels are crafted separately, culminating in a skillful shoulder seam that unites them. This seamless construction ensures both comfort and a polished look.

One of the standout features of this sweater is the exquisite cable detail that runs along the outer edging and gracefully wraps around the neck, creating a stunning focal point that adds a touch of elegance to your knitwear collection. The intricate cable design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also offers a satisfying knitting experience.

The delightful sleeves are picked up post-construction and are expertly worked in the round, transitioning from a delightful DK yarn into airy mohair, achieving a “float away” effect that is both stylish and on-trend. These balloon sleeves are cleverly decreased toward the end, finishing with a classic bell sleeve shape that flatters all body types. This pattern is perfect for knitters seeking to create a cozy yet fashionable piece for their wardrobe.

Whether you're a beginner looking to expand your skills or an experienced knitter ready for a new challenge, this sweater pattern combines various techniques and textures that make for an enjoyable knitting journey.
