Adora is a lace knit sweater pattern with heart motifs and a choice of two silhouettes to give your curves the right kind of hug. The cropped version features my signature waist darts to stop you from looking boxy, and the classic version has a slightly A-line shape for a sleek and comfortable fit over your belly and hips.

Becci beautifully models the cropped version of Adora in Nene DK, 100% next-to-skin-soft Bluefaced Leicester wool spun in Yorkshire. I’m wearing the regular length in Lyn DK, a warm and lightweight blend of 50% Exmoor Blueface, 30% Bluefaced Leicester, and 20% Wensleydale wool.

Yarn used for our Adora samples
Becci’s cropped Adora lace sweater is knitted in Nene DK, 100% British Bluefaced Leicester yarn. She chose Autoschussel, a golden khaki hue.

Natalie’s (my) regular length Adora lace sweater is knitted in Lyn DK, a blend of 50% Exmoor Blueface, 30% Bluefaced Leicester, and 20% Wensleydale wools. Rosehip is the colourway you see here.

With a classic crew neck and set-in sleeves, Adora is easy to style and cosy to wear. I hope you adore her as much as we do
