Step into the world of timeless sophistication with Jora - a sweater that effortlessly bridges the gap between elegance and excitement. Jora ’s charm lies within the graphic but graceful colorwork, that is mirrored in the stitch pattern of the body.
The sweater’s sleek silhouette is designed to complement a variety of body shapes, ensuring everyone feels their best. With Jora, you’ll captivate attention while feeling composed, comfortable and stylish throughout the day.

CONSTRUCTION
Jora is worked seamlessly from the top down. Stitches for the neckline are cast on, and once the neckline ribbing is worked, short rows are worked to raise the back of the neck. Additional short rows are worked in the colorwork. After the colorwork, raglan shaping is used to further refine the fit of the sweater. When the yoke is finished, sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the body is worked in the round down to the ribbing. The sleeves, that have a slight puff shape due to increases made after finishing the colorwork, are worked top down to the cuffs.
