It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, Jora knit in Adore (pattern link here).
Even though this was available before as a pay pattern, I am super-excited to see it available for free now. This one’s been in my queue for a while now, and with holiday crafting done (the Sequoia in Deluxe Bulky Superwash I started for my daughter last year turned out great), I might finally have time to make something for myself!
Jora was originally part of the Attire to Adore collection (Ravelry link), an e-book of knit sweaters in machine-washable Adore designed to be beautiful and comfortable wardrobe staples. Jora didn’t get as much attention as some of its fancier sisters (the Willow Cardigan is also in my queue!) but to me, this design is the perfect “classic with a twist.”
This would be so easy to dress up or down. We styled it here with jeans, but imagine this over a skirt, with a coordinating pendant resting against the solid field of the sweater. Pretty!
This design ticks the “simple but not boring” box for a wardrobe staple. It’s not all stockinette – there’s an elegant, flowing cable down each sleeve to create interest and lengthen the line.
We designed the originals in this collection in cool blues and grays, but I’m thinking… maybe autumn tones?

Decisions, decisions. Have a fantastic weekend.
