Sock yarn is soft, tough and machine washable, so why not use it for sweater knitting? This sweater combines a solid sock yarn with a striper, with a slip stitch pattern that looks way more complicated than it is to work. Make sure you select colorways that have no overlap in colors (in the sample sweater, I used a solid blue-green with a yellow/orange/taupe stripe) -- that way, the slip-stitch pattern will be clear and sharp.
