……………………..

Restraint and romance enter into dialogue, in this second and final installment of the Ada & Ardor project.

Based on the same seamless construction with contiguous sleeves and scooped neckline, this pattern is two (or more) garments in one.

Choose to knit Ada for a basic cropped pullover with ribbed edgings, or Ardor for an exuberantly ruffled dress. Features of the two can also be combined, for a versatile range of stylistic options.

Which version would you like to make? You may not know until you start knitting. And best of all, you need not decide till half way through the pattern.

If you know you want to keep it simple, Ada is available as a stand-alone pattern, at a lower price. This pattern includes instructions for both the Ada and Ardor versions.
